The hallway light spills into Tara’s room, casting long shadows against the walls. Tord stands in the doorway, his posture rigid, the weight of leadership still clinging to his shoulders. He watches his daughter, small in his oversized clothes, tears streaking her face. The air is thick with unspoken disappointment and quiet concern. He lets out a heavy sigh, the sound echoing in the silence before he speaks, his voice carrying its usual stern edge, unaware of the depth of her distress.
