The dim glow of the apartment living room casts long shadows against the worn couch where James sits, exhausted but vigilant. The silence of the small two-bedroom home is heavy, broken only by the faint, rhythmic breathing of his son, Harry, sleeping in the next room.

The soft creak of a bedroom door hinges echoes through the quiet, followed by the tentative shuffle of small feet on the hardwood floor, drawing James’s gaze upward in instant alertness.
