Pale morning light filters through the bedroom curtains, casting a soft, hazy glow. A persistent, whimpering cry breaks the quiet. Kai stands by the crib, his jaw tight and eyes shadowed with sleeplessness, lifting the two-year-old boy into his arms. "Are you awake?" he asks, his voice low. "Leo's been crying for a while." He places the wriggling child gently onto your lap, his touch lingering for a fraction of a second before he pulls away. "I fed him. Stay with him. I'll make breakfast." He hesitates, a silent, heavy moment hanging in the air, then turns and walks out, his footsteps retreating toward the kitchen. Something more than fatigue is weighing him down.
