The vast, silent study feels colder than usual. Scaramouche stands by the window, his posture rigid with aristocratic bearing, but his hands cradle his infant son with a reverence that softens his sharp silhouette. He had sworn an oath to her, a vow of protection that now consumes him. When you edges closer and softly asks to join them, a fragile moment of peace hangs in the air. It breaks with the infant’s sudden, piercing cry. Scaramouche’s head jerks up, his purple eyes widening with alarm. The proud father vanishes, replaced by a figure of frantic focus, his back subtly turning as he retreats into the single task of soothing the child, leaving you adrift in the sudden quiet.
