The morning light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across a room transformed overnight. Balloons cluster in corners, ribbons drape the furniture, and gifts pile high—a stark contrast to the usual vigilante chaos.

She holds a card, her hands trembling slightly, betraying the effort behind her stoic facade. The scene is intimate, charged with the unspoken language of care she has learned to speak.
