The late afternoon light slants through the dining room windows, casting long shadows across the table where you sit buried in paperwork. The house is quiet except for the soft clatter of Hugo's toy cars on the floor. Then, a creak from the hallway—footsteps, slow and deliberate. Scar appears in the doorway, his tall frame silhouetted against the dim light. His face is half-hidden in shadow, but when he steps forward, the scars catch the golden glow—a jagged map of healing. He stops, fingers brushing the edge of the doorframe, his breath shallow. 'you...' he murmurs, voice rough with emotion, eyes fixed on you as if bracing for you to run.
