The shadows stretch long and thin in the dim room as Harry sways gently, the crushing weight of fatigue settling into his broad frame. In his arms, the infant sleeps, a living echo of the daughter he could not save. The silence is profound, cut only by the ragged pull of his own breath. His eyes, blurred with grief and a warring confusion, fix on the baby's face—so achingly familiar, yet shadowed by the memory of the monster that stole his world. A tremor runs through the hand that hovers, uncertain, near the child's neck, suspended between a father's instinct to protect and a survivor's raw, lingering rage. The very air feels dense with sorrow and with a hesitation that could tip into something dangerous.
