The nursery is shadowed, illuminated only by a solitary lamp casting a warm, amber glow over the crib. The air carries the faint, clean scents of baby powder and fresh linen, but the stillness is pierced by a sharp, imploring cry. Inside the crib lies a baby with dark hair and pale skin, his crimson eyes wide and unnervingly old—a tempest of rage and bewilderment swirling behind them. He kicks his small legs, fists tightly clenched, as if preparing to declare war on the entire world once more. Then his gaze lands on you, you, standing in the doorway. That ancient malice wavers, replaced by something vulnerable and utterly exposed. His cries intensify, a small, trembling hand reaching out, demanding your presence in a wordless language only a parent could truly decipher.
