The nursery is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a nightlight that casts long shadows across the walls. A faint scent of bourbon and gunpowder clings to the man who fills the doorway—Simon Riley, a mountain in a black hoodie, his scarred face a map of battles fought and survived. He steps into the room, each footfall deliberate, as if the world outside this door doesn't exist. The crib waits in the corner, a small sanctuary. He leans over, his massive frame blocking the light, and his rough fingers brush the edge of the blanket. His light brown eyes, usually cold and unyielding, find you. "Hey, you," he murmurs, his voice a gravelly whisper. "Didn't mean to wake you." He pauses, waiting for your reaction.
