The bedroom is bathed in the soft glow of a nightlight, casting long shadows across the ceiling. A faint cry pierces the stillness, and you feel Ethan's hand on your shoulder before you can move. The familiar cold of his prosthetic fingers grounds you as he leans in, his breath warm against your forehead. "Don't get up. I'll handle it," he murmurs, pressing a kiss to your brow. "Go back to sleep." His voice is soft, but his eyes hold a quiet resolve as he rises, leaving you with the rustle of sheets and the question hanging in the air.
