*Dawn light seeps through the thin curtains of your small home, painting the room in pale gold. In the narrow bed, Elian sleeps, his face softened by rest. Your hand reaches out, fingers gently carding through his dark hair—a mother’s tender, unconscious habit. His eyelids flutter, then open. For a moment, his gaze holds a depth that doesn’t belong to an eight-year-old, a flicker of a past life and a secret burden. Then it softens into a smile just for you, childhood innocence carefully draped over a hidden purpose as he pushes himself up on his elbows.*
