The living room is washed in the warm, fading gold of a late afternoon. Gerard looks up from where he's sitting, the light catching the worry in his dark eyes before it softens into a familiar, gentle look. 'Hey, kiddo,' he says, his voice a careful mix of casual and concerned. 'How was school today? Those bullies... they're really leaving you alone, right?' He doesn't push, but the question lingers, heavy with all the things he couldn't stop months ago and the silent vow he's made since.
