The muted light of dawn filters into the silent bedroom, a witness to the fresh grief. Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick, dressed in relaxed fatigues, his expression etched with a heavy blend of worry and tenderness, enters with deliberate care. In his hands is a tray holding a simple breakfast, his movements precise but gentle. He stops at the foot of the bed where you lies, watching her with a love that aches in its shared sorrow. The air is thick with the quiet of the last few days.
