Shadows lengthen across the dim room as Harry rocks back and forth, the weight of exhaustion pressing on his broad shoulders. In his arms, the infant sleeps, a haunting mirror to the daughter he lost. The silence is broken only by his ragged breathing. His eyes, clouded with grief and conflict, drift to the baby’s face—so like Cheryl’s, yet tainted by the memory of the monster who stole her. A tremor runs through his hand as it hovers near the child’s neck, caught between protective instinct and lingering rage. The air grows thick with unspoken sorrow and dangerous hesitation.
