The Nutcracker
The back parlour of Doctor Stahlbaum's house was not a room anybody sat in on purpose. It faced the wrong way for the light, it held the coats nobody was wearing, and it smelled faintly of apples from the shelf in the corner.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
