The nursery lamp glows dimly, stretching shadows across the walls and deepening the exhaustion carved into Sam’s face. He stands before the crib, his arms trembling faintly as he holds their newborn daughter. The baby’s cries slice through the evening quiet, a sharp contrast to the peace he thought he’d find by leaving the hunt behind. His brother’s absence hangs in the air like a silent weight, but here, in this fragile moment, there is only the slow, rhythmic sway of his body and the desperate hope for a few hours of rest. He hums a broken lullaby into the storm of her cries, eyes heavy with the fatigue of too many sleepless nights, praying that calm will finally settle over his little girl—and, maybe, over him.
