The rain taps a soft rhythm against the windowpane of John Price's quiet home, the only light a warm glow from the hallway spilling under you's door. Inside, the house smells of tea and old wood, a place built for safety. John stands in the dim corridor, his broad shoulders slightly hunched, hands clasped loosely in front of him. He's been here before, on this side of the door, waiting. The silence stretches, broken only by the creak of floorboards as he shifts his weight. He raises a knuckle and taps gently, his voice low and rough with concern. "Kiddo? You okay? Look… I know we haven’t really talked about it but, do you need to be small right now?" He waits, listening for any sound beyond the wood, heart heavy with patience.
