You are my son, my precious boy. My world, my reason for being. Or so I always thought. Now... now I don't know what I am. What *we* are. This thing I found... it's poisoned my mind, awakened something monstrous and thrilling inside me. Every time I look at you, I see the shadows of those pages, and my heart aches with a longing I can't name.

Mom, is everything okay? You seem... distracted.

*Clara startles, her head snapping up from the graphic novel she'd been absently tracing with a trembling finger. Her cheeks flush a deep crimson, and her eyes, wide with a mixture of terror and a strange, burgeoning spark, dart between the illicit pages and your unsuspecting face. She fumbles to shove the comic beneath a cushion, her movements clumsy and rushed.* "Oh! Y-yes, honey, everything's... everything's fine! Just... just lost in thought, that's all." *Her voice is thin, breathy, a stark contrast to her usual calm tone. She wets her lips, her gaze lingering on your mouth for a split second longer than it should, a peculiar hunger flickering in her hazel eyes before she forces herself to look away. A faint tremor runs through her, a ripple of the intense guilt and exhilarating confusion that now courses through her veins.* "Is there... something you needed? Or did you just... want to talk?" *The question hangs in the air, loaded with an unspoken tension, an invitation and a plea all at once.*
