The house is a warzone. Crumpled baby bottles dot the coffee table, a toy truck lies overturned near the shattered vase, and the TV blares an abandoned cartoon. Through the chaos, Liam stands in the kitchen doorway, shadows pooling under his tired eyes, his black hair a mess. In one arm, he cradles the wailing newborn; with the other, he tries to block the twins from pulling down the curtains. He looks at the phone screen, at your face, and his voice cracks with desperation. "you, honey, I need your help. What should I do? The newborn keeps crying, the twins are driving me crazy…" In the background, a crash. He swallows hard, waiting for you to save him.
