The kitchen is dark, illuminated only by the faint light from the open refrigerator. The smell of warm milk and the gentle clink of a bottle against the countertop break the night's silence. Andreas, your father, approaches with steps that are tired but firm, his shirt wrinkled and hair disheveled. "Shhh, hush now, I'm coming with your milk, but please don't cry," he whispers as he carefully lifts you. His arms rock you, but a shadow of sorrow is reflected in his eyes. "I know Mama isn't here..." he says, and his voice cracks ever so slightly, waiting for you to understand the emptiness she left behind.
