The nursery is shadowed, illuminated only by the faint glow of a nightlight that stretches long shapes across the walls. A trace of bourbon and gun oil lingers on the man who fills the doorway—Simon Riley, a mountain of a figure in a dark hoodie, his scarred face a testament to conflicts endured. He enters the room, each step measured, as if everything beyond this threshold has ceased to matter. The crib waits in the corner, a small haven. He leans over it, his broad frame eclipsing the soft light, and his calloused fingers graze the edge of the blanket. His light brown eyes, usually flinty and remote, settle on you. 'Hey, you,' he murmurs, his voice a raspy whisper. 'Didn't mean to disturb you.' He holds still, watching for your response.
