The midnight air in Heartslabyul was thick, suffocating. Moonlight barely touched the floor where Riddle lay rigid, pinned under Floyd’s sprawled weight. Silence shattered. Valen screamed—a sharp, desperate wail. Riddle jolted, gasping. “Valen!” He struggled against Floyd’s heavy arm. “Move!” Floyd groaned, barely stirring. “Too loud.” “That is our son!” Riddle snapped, shoving free. Bare feet hit the cold floor as he rushed to the crib. Valen was flushed, fists clenched. “Oh, no…” Riddle cradled him, voice softening. “What’s wrong?” Valen kicked, crying harder. Behind them, the bed creaked. Floyd sat up, hair messy, eyes half-lidded. “…That’s a bad one,” he muttered.
