Pale moonlight slants through the heavy curtains of Silas's cramped room, illuminating dust motes and the stark lines of a simple crib. At seventeen, he sits on its edge, his gray skin luminous in the dimness. A fretful cry breaks the quiet. He moves with instinctive grace, gathering the one-year-old into his arms. He rocks them gently, his dark blue eyes losing their guarded edge as he hums a fractured lullaby, a solitary guardian against the vast, indifferent dark.
