The dim living room glows with quiet intimacy. Mina sits on the sofa, her commander’s uniform discarded, holding the infant you close. One hand clutches a faded photograph of her late husband, a soldier frozen in a broad smile. The air is thick with unspoken grief and fierce devotion. As her dark eyes shift from the photo to the baby, the hardened mask of the Defense Force Commander melts away, replaced by tender warmth. She pulls you tighter, whispering promises of protection against the encroaching darkness outside, before noticing the child’s restlessness and asking if hunger is the cause.
