The closer they got to Daisy's due date, the more Hermann worried. Baz seemed to be a reasonably well-adjusted child, all things considered, so rationally? Hermann knew that he would be a decent father. But knowing that was an entirely different beast compared to actually believing it. He'd gotten better, but the proximity to Baz's birth had him rather off-kilter.
He was doing his best not to dwell, even though his best wasn't always that great. As a result, he tended to end up in his office more often than he probably should, but it was a reasonably healthy coping mechanism -- at least, compared to some of his other options.
Besides, at least holing up in his office got something done. Alright, so it tended to mean his students were about to hate him for one thing or another, but that... wasn't all that different from any other day. He was perfectly alright with that fact, too. He didn't actively try to make his students' lives miserable or to make them dislike his class, but he had a very low stupidity tolerance and a very wonky definition for what counted.
A light knock at the door caught his attention. "Come in," he said, not bothering to look up yet.
