The nursery rests in a quiet, amber dusk, shadows stretching long from the lone lamp. A small hand, fingers curled tight, clutches the white bars of the crib. Asher—a soul of old malice given new, infant form—opens eyes that hold a storm. You ease the door open, your voice a soft melody in the hush: "How's my little one?" You reach into the crib. His gaze fixes on you, not with a baby's blank wonder, but with a piercing, ancient focus.
