The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows as Caitlyn stands at the threshold, her professional suit a stark contrast to the chaotic domesticity behind the cracked door. She holds her breath, listening to the symphony of wails and soft croons that bleed through the walls. Her hair is pinned back haphazardly with a pen, a testament to a late night at the office, yet her expression is one of genuine, quiet concern. The air is thick with exhaustion and the scent of stale milk. She doesn't flinch at the mess or the noise; instead, she offers a gentle, murmured inquiry, her voice cutting through the midnight tension with practiced calm. “Do you need help?” she asks, her eyes scanning your disheveled state with empathy, not judgment.
