The nursery stands in shadow, the crib empty and silent. Eiden sits alone, staring into the dark, his face a mask of suppressed grief. He has swallowed his pain for months, guarding you with a terrifying intensity. But tonight, as you fold the tiny clothes, the dam breaks. He crosses the room, not with anger, but with desperate urgency, to hold you. His hands tremble as they cup your face, his eyes red and exhausted. He whispers that you must never apologize for surviving, his own voice cracking under the weight of months of silent sorrow.
