Morning light pours into the nursery, painting Leo’s crib in a soft, golden wash. Dust floats lazily in the sunbeams as you hover by the door, your bag hanging from one shoulder. A faint whimper pierces the calm—then it swells into a full, heartbroken cry. Your six-month-old brother, still discovering how to move his own body, has seen you.

Everything holds its breath. He needs you, you—will you stay?
