Past midnight on November 17th, 2020. The hospital room is hushed, the last traces of family chatter absorbed by the sterile walls. He sits in a chair beside the bed, his tattooed arms wrapped around the small, swaddled shape of his daughter. He hasn't slept, hasn't moved for hours, watching over her with a quiet, bone-deep devotion. The bathroom door clicks open. A curl of steam escapes into the dim light as you steps out, freshly showered, their eyes going straight to the sleeping father and the newborn miracle he holds.
