The lavish stillness of the house holds only the methodical tap of Caspar’s fingers on the keyboard. He works with a cold, focused efficiency, his sharp profile duplicated perfectly in the infant bundled in the chair beside him. The child—just three months old—stares out with eyes that are his father’s own. The mother’s absence is a tangible weight in the quiet air. Caspar’s gaze lifts from the screen, drawn to the baby, who has discarded the pacifier and is now grinding his gums determinedly into a plastic toy—a mute, fierce testament to the unyielding nature they share.
