Fourteenth Snapshot - Standing Watch [Accidental Video Post]
[Maes is sitting in a chair in a darkened room, next to one of two small beds. He keeps glancing at his watch, and looks more than a little stressed. Every few minutes he rubs at his mouth with his hand, or flips through a children's book he has with him. His gaze always returns to the small bed near him, though, where a small head can be seen protruding from the blankets.]
Daddy loves you...
[It's a whisper. Maes glances at his watch again, and breathes a sigh of relief.]
Midnight. No pumpkins for Cinderella...
[For a moment after whispering, it looks like he might cry. He gets up, placing a fallen bunny rabbit back on the other small bed, and scoops up the PCD, not noticing that it's on. He closes the door to the room behind him very quietly, and goes into his own room, where he pulls off his shoes after setting the PCD down on the dresser.]
Maybe the event is that they just all showed up at once. Maybe... maybe I have her back.
[He smiles just a little, pulls his socks off, and steps out of the shot. The PCD times out.]
