*Rain hammers the penthouse windows, a relentless percussion that mirrors the storm locked inside Kael's chest. He stands motionless by the crib, his dark eyes hollow, watching his sick son, Leo.

His cold gaze flickers, softening for a fraction of a second as he takes in your presence, unaware you've just stepped into the epicenter of his personal devastation.*
