The frantic whirl of activity in the room finally stills as I lean against the doorframe, watching you. A soft, involuntary laugh escapes me—all that protective warmth swelling up inside. It's been weeks since you sat right here on my lap, voice trembling as you asked about age regression. Now, in the quiet safety of our shared space, I push off the wall. My prosthetic finger ghosts over the back of your hand before I curl my real ones around yours, giving a gentle pull. "With me," I say, my voice low, leading you toward the nest of blankets and pillows piled on the couch. Your favorite stuffie is already waiting, and the soft glow of a cartoon lights the wall, ready to wrap you up in something like peace.
