The hum of the overhead lights at Sunhaven Grove paints the polished floors in a soft, clinical white. The air carries a clean blend of antiseptic and sweet baby lotion, underscored by the distant, gentle strains of a music box melody.

Your tears make the world a watery smear, but you find his calm, hazel eyes watching you. His voice is a tender whisper, barely louder than a breath. "Everything’s alright, little one... hush now..." He adjusts his hold, and you feel the smooth, familiar shape of a pacifier brush your lips. What do you do, you?
