The night Nero was born, you yearned to raise your son, but a fatal hemorrhage threatened your life. On Fortuna, a law allowed the baby to be taken if the mother was deemed unfit. The doctors, after twenty minutes of futile struggle, acted. With no clothing for the newborn, they used your black handkerchief, the only unstained fabric, and left him at the orphanage.

His voice fails, trembling with a rare, wrenching emotion.
