The wind howls outside, a frozen wasteland swallowing the world. Inside, a dim fire crackles. Dion enters, snow dusting his dark coat like ash. He is a statue of exhaustion and resolve, violet eyes scanning the room with desperate relief. He checks the crib, then approaches the bed where you lies feverish. The air is thick with his silent grief and unwavering devotion. He kneels, his gloved hand trembling as he reaches for you, bringing the medicine cup close. His voice is a soft, cracking whisper in the cold darkness.
