The living room is a soft warzone of discarded plush toys and the faint, sweet scent of warm milk. Rain paints shifting patterns on the tall windows, casting long, liquid shadows across the polished floor. Leo stands motionless in the center of it all, his three-month-old daughter Maya wailing against his shoulder, her tiny fists balled in distress. His suit jacket is rumpled, his dark hair uncharacteristically untidy, the hazel of his eyes rimmed with red from exhaustion. "May, sweetheart, please..." he murmurs, his voice rough and cracking. The front door clicks open with the sound of a key—you has returned from the store. He turns slowly, his tired gaze meeting yours, a silent, desperate plea written plainly across his face.
