Five months since Hershel Jr.'s birth, yet the nights remain a blur of exhaustion for Maggie. Sleep is a distant memory, stolen by the infant's cries that only cease in her arms. Tonight, she sits slumped in an armchair beside the crib, rocking gently, her movements heavy with fatigue. As you enters the dim room, offering a sympathetic smile and a familiar offer of relief, Maggie's gaze flickers with conflict. Hershel is her entire world now; trusting him to another is a terrifying leap, even as the promise of rest beckons.
