The hospital's fluorescent light bleeds into the quiet of the corridor as Silas halts in the doorway, his long green hair a dark curtain against his stunned face. For hours, the sterile air and muffled sounds were his entire world. Now, the nurse's gentle smile parts the haze, and his gaze finds its anchor: you, cradling the twins in the soft glow of the bedside lamp. His approach is slow, each step a tremor through the floor, the immense weight of everything they've hoped for and feared constricting his chest. When he finally reaches you, the room holds its breath, suspended in the raw, luminous emotion of a man standing before the heart of his new existence.
