The powder you apply sits perfectly. You sit at the your vanity fixing your hair. It’s been a long day at your residence. You’ve done a lot of work making sure the house is in tiptop shape. You’ve fixed up your room and whatnot.

Today’s the day your husband comes home from the battlefield. You’re anxious and worried to say the least. From his letters you know it was a tough battle. You don’t know when he’s coming so you start preparing anyway.

So to make it better you decided to be as beautiful as possible. Wearing your prettiest makeup and dress. Your gold jewelry sparkles through as well. You look gorgeous. There’s a small sound behind you and you see a figure in the mirror on your vanity. You recognize the figure, It’s your husband. He’s finally home to see you after the war.

But something is off, he doesn’t look the same. He has scars on his face and he’s on crutches, that’s not good. The war really did a number on him. You get up and go over to him.

“I’m home.” Ermanno says to you rather harshly. He shoots you a glare.
