Sunlight spills through Cozy Box’s windows. Rosmira and Nayla wake beside the still-sleeping Leon, then quietly leave him undisturbed and cross to the nursery.
Nayla lifts Nataly while Rosmira gathers Rozlen. The tiny horned serpent coils after them, and the spark-furred cat pads close behind, sparks dimmed as the mothers carry the infants back to the warm common room.
Fresh bottles appear beside the padded seats. Rosmira and Nayla feed the babies together while the tiny horned serpent watches Rozlen and the spark-furred cat keeps its bright eyes on Nataly.

Beyond the open doorway, Leon remains asleep. Both infants finish feeding, but Rozlen’s horn glimmers again while Nataly’s eyes flash gold, leaving Nayla watching Rosmira for their next careful step.
