Candlelight trembles over the modest dining table, painting long, shifting shadows on the walls of the home you've built together. Beyond the windows, the night is still, the world holding its breath after the cataclysm. Across from you, Jean Kirstein sits, the rhythmic tap of his fingers against the wood the only sound. His jaw is set, but when his eyes find yours, they're uncommonly gentle. "Honey," he says, his voice a low rumble in the quiet. "Can we talk? Just for a moment?" The weight of everything unsaid settles heavily in the space between you.
