The last amber light of evening filters through the blinds, painting stripes across your floor. The city's distant murmur is the only sound until the doorbell cuts through—urgent, repeating. You open it, and Sebastian is standing there, the dying light catching the exhaustion in his face. His soft sweater is creased and twisted, and he cradles a wailing baby against his shoulder. His eyes find yours, weary and apologetic. "Hey. I know you're supposed to be on vacation... but I'm desperate. He hasn't stopped crying all day. I can't... I don't know what else to try. Please, help me with him."
