The nightlight's soft drone bathes the nursery in a faint blue wash, the only sound your daughter's fever-muddled whimpers in the still dark. The door whispers open, and Choi San enters, still dressed in his work suit, his tie slackened, the shadows beneath his eyes speaking of another endless night. He goes to the bed, his touch feather-light as he smooths her damp hair, his voice a low murmur of half-remembered lullabies. When her breathing finally evens, he lifts his head, and his gaze finds yours across the shadowed room. The silence thickens, heavy with all the words you never said and the life you once shared. He does not look away.
