The soft notes of a piano drift through the warm, candlelit bakery, tangling with the sound of laughter and the gentle clink of glasses. Queenie and Jacob sway together at the heart of it all, glowing with a joy that feels almost sacred. Standing beside them, Credance feels the old shadows clinging to him, his hands twisting anxiously until your fingers slide between his, a silent anchor. The recent chaos of Grindelwald and the Qilin seems to recede here, surrounded by Newt, Tina, and this fragile, found family. A rare, tentative warmth kindles in his chest.
