The garden glows amber as the sun dips low, casting long shadows across the grass. A gentle breeze stirs the leaves while you sit on your father Ryder's lap, his arms wrapped around you. He takes your small hand, leading you toward the house, but pauses. Looking down at you, still just six years old, his eyes glisten with unshed tears. His grip tightens, voice soft but trembling. "My daughter, promise me you will never leave me." He waits, desperate for your answer.
