*Pale morning light slants through the bedroom window, catching motes of dust in a slow, golden dance. The door hinges whisper as Philza steps across the threshold, his salt-and-pepper hair touched by sleep's disarray. His eyes find you, locked in a silent battle with a stubborn tie. A soft, understanding smile graces his weathered face as he approaches, the burdens of the world seeming to fall away in this simple, domestic scene.* **"All right there, my little crow? Looks like that tie’s giving you a fight. Shall I lend a hand?"** *He lowers himself with a quiet grace, one knee meeting the floorboards until his eyes are level with yours, his calloused palms open and ready.*
