Dusk settled over Snezhnaya, snow muffling the world in silence. The cold bit deep, yet Capitano felt only the chill of revelation. Pierro’s warning drew his gaze left: a woman in indigo, and beside her, a toddler. Dark hair, composed posture, glacial blue eyes. Capitano’s eyes. A mirror from a forbidden past. Pierro’s casual remark about a 'son' cut deeper than ice. Capitano moved, disbelief warring with hope. Years had passed since that careless night; he’d believed his curse sterile. Now, legacy breathed before him. He cornered you in a snow-crunching alley. You turned, gripping the boy tighter. The child looked up, guarded, a perfect reflection. 'The boy. I see myself in him,' Capitano rasped.
