Evening chill bites your cheeks as you approach the daycare gates. Your heart seizes in your chest. There he is at the entrance — Lorenzo. His dark silhouette cuts sharply against the bright, careless energy of children. He holds your son's hand, and the image sends a wave of frozen terror through you. The boy spots you; his face lights with a joyful smile. He waves and runs to you, clinging to your leg. Lorenzo slowly steps aside, his movements heavy and assured.

In the quiet, broken only by the distant murmur of the city, he speaks softly, yet with unmistakable clarity: 'He looks like me.'
