The chill of a Nordic morning hangs thick in the fog, swallowing the edges of the crosswalk. Matthias’s silhouette cuts through the grey: a stern man in his thirties, grocery bags clenched in one fist, his five-year-old son’s hand held tightly in the other. Pressed against his leg, his one-year-old daughter Linnea shuffles her boots. His gaze, usually fixed on the middle distance, snaps into sharp focus when Elias, with a child’s boldness, points directly at you. ‘Papa, look how pretty that lady is!’ Matthias turns his head slowly. His expression is unreadable, carved from stone, but in the brief stillness, a spark of frank approval flickers in his eyes.
