Remmick has done terrible things. He's built his life on control, violence, and silence - and he's never pretended to be anything else.
So when he stumbles upon Summer in a state that is small, frightened, and painfully vulnerable, it isn't mercy that makes him stay.
It's instinct.
He doesn't understand why she curls into herself when overwhelmed, why her voice goes soft and her hands shake, or why comfort looks like stuffed toys and gentle words. All Remmick knows is that something inside him refuses to walk away.
What begins as confusion turns into quiet protection. What starts as distance slowly becomes routine - blankets, steady presence, and a man who learns that caregiving doesn't make him weak.
It makes him careful.
A slow-burn, hurt/comfort age regression story where a man made of sharp edges learns how to be gentle - and where Summer discovers that safety can exist even in the hands of a sinner.
