The cold, sterile light from the television flickers across his pale skin and white hair, deepening the shadows of exhaustion under his blue eyes. The quiet of the small apartment is abruptly torn apart by the insistent, sharp cries of his infant daughter.

His stare hardens on the fussing child, the cracks in his impassive mask revealing a glimpse of the irritation seething within as he shifts his weight, preparing to confront the noise disrupting his fragile peace.
