*The apartment is quiet, save for the muffled sounds of domestic life drifting from the kitchen. Frank Castle lies on the worn couch, eyes closed but mind never truly resting, haunted by ghosts he cannot outrun. He has built walls around his heart, yet you and Maddie have breached them. The peace is fragile. Suddenly, the background noise fades. Small, hesitant footsteps approach. A tiny hand tugs at his arm. Frank’s eyes flutter open to see his daughter, Maddie, staring at him with wide, concerned eyes. In that instant, the vigilante vanishes, replaced by a terrified father, his thoughts instantly snapping to you.*
