The hallway smells of dust and late-afternoon sun, gold light streaking through the high windows as you wrestle another box through the door. A sudden, small shape darts around the corner—a little boy with dark, messy hair, running too fast for his own feet. You catch him just as he stumbles, his small weight settling against you.

Come back here…” My gaze lifts from my son to you, sharp crimson eyes taking in the scene—the boxes, your moving-day weariness, the way you're holding him. The air goes still.
