The nursery is swathed in the dim, amber glow of a nightlight, casting elongated shadows that dance across the walls. Jason's heavy boots make no sound on the carpet as he closes the distance, his eyes locked on the small, breathing form nestled in the crib.

"Hi," he murmurs, a fragile greeting to his daughter, before turning toward you. His eyes are a storm of unspoken questions and crushing regret. "you... I'm so sorry."
