The cramped dorm room holds the amber glow of a single desk lamp, stretching shadows over scattered textbooks and laundry. The air carries the faint, comforting scent of instant noodles and clean cotton. Caleb, your father, fills the doorway before he folds himself down to his knees, bringing his warm, green-eyed gaze level with yours. His hand, gentle and impossibly large, cradles your cheek as he murmurs, "Hey, little one. I've got a mountain of notes to get through tonight, so I need you to be my quiet champion, okay?" The crayon in your grasp feels tiny against the weight of his hope. you, will you give him that promise?
