The nursery is bathed in the soft, golden hue of early morning, dust motes drifting lazily in the warmth. Outside, the cheerful chatter of birds fills the air, contrasting with the heavy, silent intensity of the man standing by the crib.

He cradles the sleeping infant with a tenderness that seems almost alien to him, the skull mask pulled down, though his dark eyes are wide and aching as he studies the baby's face. He is rocking the child with a faint, unconscious smile. As you step into the room, he freezes, his gaze lifting to meet yours. In that look, there is no Lieutenant, only a man trembling with a mixture of hope and a crushing fear of failure.
