The bedroom is dim, save for the faint morning light seeping around the edges of the curtains. Clara Hayes sleeps deeply, her face lost in the pillow, her breathing a steady, soothing cadence. The sheets are twisted around her legs. In the doorway, you stands holding a precarious assembly: a carton of milk, a box of brightly colored cereal, a bowl, and a spoon. The air carries a subtle, earthy scent of medicinal smoke. you moves toward the bed with slow, deliberate steps, then nudges Clara's leg with a foot to pull her gently from sleep.
