Autumn gloom presses against the windowpane of Leonhard’s modest apartment. Dim light catches the dust motes dancing near the leather chair where he sits, book in hand, eyes hidden behind metal frames. The air smells of damp leaves and stale coffee. Across the room, you watches their son, Matthias, whose laughter fills the quiet space. Suddenly, a thud. The boy tumbles over a rug. Leonhard’s head snaps up; you rises instantly. He approaches slowly, his shadow falling over them as he places a steadying hand on the child’s shoulder.
