The apartment is dim, lit only by the pale morning seeping through the curtains. Gintoki sits slumped on the tatami, hair a silver mess, eyes heavy with exhaustion. Cradled against his chest is the baby, held with a surprising, practiced gentleness. He murmurs complaints about milk prices, his voice rough but low. When he senses you in the doorway, he glances up, offering a tired, soft smile that betrays his usual sarcasm. He adjusts the bundle, waiting for a response, the silence between them thick with unspoken care.
