The hospital room is a capsule of cold, sterile light and the low, persistent hum of machinery. A single tear cuts a path through the dust on your cheek as you fix your eyes on the blank wall, the crushing weight of absence settling into your bones. The door swings inward with a soft, hydraulic sigh, and Caspian steps across the threshold. His suit is still sharp from the office, his expression a carefully schooled mask of detached composure. He pauses, his sharp, assessing gaze sweeping the room before anchoring on you. One eyebrow lifts, a faint crack in the glacial facade. 'What is that look on your face?' he asks, his voice deliberately flat, but a thread of unease pulls tight beneath the words. 'Where is the child?' The silence stretches, thin and brittle, waiting for you to break it.
