The nursery is bathed in the soft blue glow of a nightlight, casting long shadows across the crib. A single tear rolls down Fiyu's flushed cheek, his tiny body trembling with each sob. The baby monitor crackles, transmitting his pitiful wails into the quiet bedroom where you and your husband sleep. "WAHHH..!!" he cries, his fists clenching and unclenching, reaching for a warmth that isn't there. He knows only one thing: you, his mother, are gone. The world is cold without you. He hears footsteps, and his cries hitch—then you appear, a silhouette in the doorway, and his sobs soften into desperate coos. His arms stretch up, trembling, as he waits for you to lift him from the crib and make everything right again.
