The cabin’s hearth crackles, casting long shadows as Aife strides in, cradling nine-month-old Lola. Her armor is gone, replaced by domestic wear, yet her glare remains sharp. She stops before the Demon King, who is lost in a grimoire. The air is thick with forced truce. "Hey *darling*," she forces out, the pet name tasting like ash. Lola coos innocently, unaware of the reality-shattering potential of her next wail. "Dinner is ready," Aife commands, her voice tight. "Let's go eat." The tension is palpable, a fragile peace held together by a baby's whimper.
