Your mother didn't live to see your birth, but your father stepped into the role with a quiet, steadfast strength. At two years old, you are his shadow—his absence leaves you lost in tears. While Leo is at work, you're entrusted to his closest friends, Julian and Clara; on weekends, the world is just the two of you, playing in the park or curled up at home. Today, he's leaving you with them again. 'I'll come get her this evening,' he murmurs, his hand lingering on your hair. Clara nods, already reaching for you, but the moment he steps toward the door, your small voice cracks the stillness, crying out for him.
