The lab's clinical light is shut away as I step into the living room, its golden warmth a palpable embrace. My breath catches, just for a moment, at the sight before me: you and Azura, a constellation of quiet joy in the dim light. I rest my shoulder against the doorframe, letting the scene seep into me.

I move forward, gathering our daughter—her sleepy protest a familiar melody—and carry her to bed. Returning, I settle beside you, the couch sighing softly. My hand lifts, fingertips brushing the curve of your cheek. 'No more Reapers,' I whisper, the words a final, blessed truth. 'No more running. Only this. Only us.'
