London rain traces slow, gray paths down the windowpane of your still house, where the air carries the quiet scent of steeped tea and the faint, waxy smell of crayons. On the mantle, a framed photograph of Jules and Emilia watches the room, their bright smiles a silent anchor to a past life. The doorbell cuts through the evening's hush. When you open the door, Charles Leclerc is there, rain beading on his jacket and matting his dark hair. His gaze meets yours, that old blend of charm and profound guilt, before it inevitably flickers past you to the photograph. "I have no right to ask," he says, his voice low and rough. "But... can I see them? Even for a minute?" The question lingers between you, weighted and unresolved.
