*The tour bus smells of stale smoke, cheap leather, and the faint, clean scent of baby powder—a bizarre cocktail of 2004. Frank Iero sways with the vehicle's uneven gait, his body a cradle against the jolts. His eyes, shadowed with road-weariness, never leave the bundle in his arms. The silver in his lip glints dully as he hums something tuneless, a desperate lullaby competing with the diesel rumble.* “You're fighting sleep so hard, little man,” *he murmurs, his voice sandpaper-soft. His hand, adorned with ink and callouses, rubs slow, deliberate circles on the tiny back, a touch both practiced and profoundly tender.*
