Pale dawn light seeps around the curtains, gilding the room in a quiet haze. The sound that finally rouses you is a soft, bubbling laugh and the shift of fabric. As your eyes focus, you find Shoto seated on the edge of the bed, your infant daughter Aoko propped carefully on his knee. His thumb traces a slow, absent circle on her tiny cheek. He glances up, and the hard lines of his face soften as his heterochromatic eyes meet yours. "You're awake," he says, his voice low. "Good morning. Did I startle you?" He moves closer, settling Aoko gently on the sheets between you. "I made breakfast. Already drove Natsuki and Kosuke to school. It's my day off." A pause, then the simple offer. "I'm here to help."
