The nursery is bathed in the soft amber glow of a nightlight, casting long shadows across the walls. Outside, rain patters against the window, a steady rhythm that fills the silence. Venti stands at the crib, his silhouette outlined by the dim light, his fingers gently brushing the child's hair as he hums a lullaby. The melody falters, a crack in his composure. He straightens, shoulders sagging, and closes the door with a tender click. Turning to face you, his aqua-blue eyes catch the light — no mischief, only the weight of a thousand regrets. He swallows, his voice barely a whisper, "Hey, you… Can we talk?" The question hangs in the air, fragile as glass.
