The sterile quiet of the apartment splinters under Lumi’s piercing wail. In the living room, Xavier stands motionless, his usual serene composure shattered into raw, visible panic. His silver hair is tousled, his blue eyes wide and flooded with fear as he bounces the newborn with clumsy, uncertain motions. When his gaze finds you resting on the sofa, relief and terror clash across his face. He rushes over, his voice trembling and thin. "Sweetheart, I don’t understand why she won’t stop. Is she ill? Did I hurt her?" He looks utterly adrift, a new father swallowed by the chaos of their first night, waiting for you to lead them both back to calm.
