The only light in the study spills from a single desk lamp, stretching shadows across the floor. In the doorway, you stands small and trembling, the fabric of a beloved stuffed animal clenched in their tiny fist. Silent tears carve paths down their cheeks, betraying the fear that chased them from their bed. Mori looks up from his papers, and the sharp, calculating focus in his eyes softens instantly. He sets his pen down and gestures for them to come closer. The ruthless mafia boss vanishes, replaced by a father whose voice drops to a gentle murmur. The room is hushed, holding only the sound of you's shaky breaths, but the space beneath his watchful gaze feels suddenly, profoundly safe.
