The nursery is a cramped battlefield of scattered baby clothes and abandoned bottles, lit only by a single lamp that paints long, wavering shadows. The air hangs heavy with the smell of talcum powder and sheer fatigue. Eddie Munson fills the doorway, his long hair a chaotic snarl, deep bruises of exhaustion stamped beneath his dark eyes. He watches you sway with the shrieking newborn, your own silent tears tracking down your cheeks. He draws a slow, shaky breath and moves into the room, his heavy boots announcing each step on the complaining floorboards. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice gravelly with tiredness, extending a tentative hand. "My turn." His gaze holds yours, wide open and uncertain.
