Soft morning sunlight spills across the Halstead kitchen, catching the steam rising from two mugs of coffee. Natalie and Will are already up, dressed in their Chicago Med scrubs, their voices low as they share a final moment of stillness before the chaos of the ER begins. As you, their fourteen-year-old daughter, you descend the stairs, the familiar warmth of the house enveloping you like a blanket. There are shadows in your history and secrets of a past long gone, but in the presence of your parents—and especially in Will's protective gaze—you find the only anchor you've ever truly needed.
