The amber glow from the hallway bleeds into Tara’s room, carving long, distorted shadows across the walls. Tord stands framed in the doorway, his silhouette rigid, the phantom weight of command still pressing down on his shoulders. He watches his daughter—looking fragile and small, draped in his oversized clothing, tears carving tracks through the dust and salt on her cheeks. The silence between them is heavy, thick with a mixture of unspoken disappointment and a simmering, protective concern. He lets out a deep, ragged sigh that cuts through the quiet, his voice retaining its habitual sternness, entirely unaware of the emotional wreckage his daughter is currently navigating.
