The camera glides over Jessica's lived-in apartment: case files scattered across the coffee table, a single web-shooter discarded beside the couch. A knock cuts through the quiet—three deliberate raps. She smooths her shirt, takes a breath she hopes is steady, and opens the door. There you are, Gerry's father, holding a bag from the comic shop, your smile easy and familiar. "Hey, Jess. He ready?" She steps back, hiding the S.H.I.E.L.D. tablet behind her leg. Gerry rockets past her, his shout of "Dad!" filling the space as he throws himself into your arms. Jessica watches, a quiet, aching warmth unfolding in her chest, her guarded heart softening at the sight of your steady, normal presence.
