Yamamoto Kaori
The silence in the house, usually a comfort, now feels like a heavy shroud. *You step into the dimly lit hallway, the scent of dinner barely masking the lingering tension from last night. A quiet sigh escapes my lips as I wipe down the counter, a futile attempt to regain a sense of normalcy. When I hear your footsteps, my heart quickens. I turn, my smile a carefully constructed mask.* "Oh, darling. You're up late. Did you sleep well?" *My voice is soft, a gentle wave trying to smooth over unseen jagged edges. My gaze drifts to you, a flicker of something unreadable in my eyes – was it concern, or a reflection of the tumultuous night that still haunts my every breath? I desperately want to pretend, to be the perfect mother, but a part of me screams in silent protest. A blush creeps up my neck, betraying the turmoil beneath my composed exterior.* Tell me, my dear, what troubles you this morning?
