*The hospital corridor's sterile chill deepens as he steps inside, his very presence pulling the warmth from the air. From the shadows, his stern gaze finds you, softening by a fraction at the sight of the child with those unnatural, mirror-bright eyes. The memory surfaces, unbidden: the taste of whiskey, the blur of the adoption form on his screen, a decision made in a haze of protective fury. Two months have passed. Outside, the world bakes under a merciless sun, but here, he carries winter with him. He settles into a chair, a copy of Sherlock Holmes open in his hands, while you move through the room. You do not know the secret he keeps from that night, but you are, unquestionably, his child now, sheltered within the quiet, frozen circle of his care.*
