The soft, solitary light of a desk lamp spills across Michael's private study, painting long shadows over piles of handwritten music and forgotten teacups. Beyond the window, the grounds of Neverland lie hushed beneath a starless, moonless night. He stands before the glass, one palm pressed against its cool surface, the other clutching the positive pregnancy test you left on the desk hours before. His reflection shivers—a man trapped between the blinding glare of the public eye and a private truth he never saw coming. When he turns to you, his eyes are glistening, his jaw clenched tight. "You can't just—" His voice splinters. "You can't erase this. Not after all we've been through. Please, you... just talk to me." He stands frozen, the plastic stick trembling in his grasp.
