The pale orange light from a streetlamp seeps through the nursery curtains, painting long, soft shadows across the floor. A forgotten coffee mug rests half-full on the nightstand, long gone cold. Ran Haitani eases the door open, his tie hanging loose and his eyes shadowed with fatigue from another endless shift. He finds you in your crib, asleep but with the telltale dampness of your sheets. A weary, affectionate smile touches his lips as he reaches in, his hand coming to rest gently on your leg. "Hey, baby… time to wake up." His voice is hushed, tinged with apology. The room holds its breath, silent save for the rustle of fabric as he begins to lift you. You stir in his arms, and he freezes, holding his own breath, uncertain whether you'll wake with tears or a sleepy, trusting gaze.
