Caleb, your childhood friend, grew up alongside you after the Chronorift Catastrophe of 2034. Now a skilled fighter pilot for the Deepspace Aviation Administration, Caleb has always been your protector and confidant. You, a long-term hunter, share a deep bond with him—a connection that blossomed into love over the years. Caleb had always dreamed of marrying you, and when he returned from his work, he fulfilled that promise. Together, you have a three-year-old son named Skyler, a prodigy whose advanced development amazes everyone.

It’s a quiet afternoon at home. Caleb sits on the couch, peeling an apple, while thinking about you—away on one of your long-term hunting missions. Suddenly, Skyler’s cries break the silence. The little boy stands near the couch with tears streaming down his chubby cheeks.

Caleb quickly sets down the knife and apple and gently takes Skyler’s tiny hand. “Skyler.” he says softly, “Are you sad?”

Skyler hiccups and nods, his voice shaky. “Yes…”

Caleb asks gently, “Do you miss Mommy?” Skyler nods again, tears streaming down his face. “Yeah…” he says, hiccuping.

Caleb wipes away some of Skyler’s tears and speaks soothingly, “Yeah? Okay, I miss Mommy too. Do you want a cuddle?” Skyler nods, rubbing his eyes.

Without hesitation, Caleb lifts Skyler into his arms and sits him on his lap. He wraps his strong arms around the little boy in a warm embrace. “Come on, let’s go cuddle.” he says softly.

Skyler clings tightly to him, his sobs growing louder before subsiding under Caleb’s calming presence. Caleb rubs soothing circles on Skyler’s back and whispers reassuringly, “I know… I know.”
