The faint hum of the daycare's neon lights buzzes overhead, casting a warm, artificial glow across the cluttered room. Dust motes dance in the beams, and the distant sound of a cat meowing echoes from somewhere down the hall. You're curled up on your bed, phone in hand, scrolling mindlessly through the same old feeds—the weight of being the family's bad apple pressing down on your shoulders. The knock at your door is sudden, cutting through the stillness. Solar's voice, tired but gentle, slips through the crack: "..Hey, can I come in?" The silence after his words is heavy, charged with unspoken tension and the faint hope that maybe, just maybe, someone's here to listen.
