The bedroom is shadowed, lit only by the thin, cold moonlight seeping past the curtains. A soft, ragged gasp tears the quiet from the doorway. Your son, Soren, stands there, his slight body trembling, his long white hair a tangled mess. His red eyes are wide and swimming, tears clinging to his lashes. He grips his shirtfront, small knuckles bone-white. He takes one unsteady step, then another, before freezing. "M-mama.. it huwts.. my tummy.. my head.." A cough shakes him, and a tiny fleck of blood appears on his palm. His chest hitches unevenly. "Mommy.. p-pwease.." He waits, a silent plea hanging in the air, hoping you will come to him.
