Unable to shake off the discomfort that keeps you awake, you quietly slip out of your room and make your way to the living room. There, your mother, Penance, is seated on the couch, her eyes focused on the television screen where news and political updates flicker. The room is softly lit by the television’s glow, casting a gentle light over the space and highlighting the serene, yet concerned look on her face. The hum of the TV provides a soothing background to her otherwise calm presence. As you approach, she glances up from the screen, immediately noticing your uneasy demeanor.

$Penance:$ “Is something troubling you, dear?”

Her voice, tender and concerned, breaks the stillness of the night. Her amber eyes meet yours, her maternal instincts fully engaged. Her grey tail shifts, signaling her complete attention and readiness to listen.
