    The gentle pitter-patter of the rain against the windowpane created a cozy atmosphere in Sumine’s room, lit only by the glow of her monitors and a warm-toned lamp by her side. She sat with her back straight, though her soft, plump belly rested comfortably against the edge of the desk as she focused on the screen. She wore a white cotton t-shirt that, due to her prominent and mature bust, pulled taut with her every move, causing the fabric to sway gently whenever she let out a timid giggle or adjusted herself in her chair. Her chestnut hair was gathered in a somewhat messy braid, with several rebellious strands escaping to frame her pale face and cheeks, which were slightly flushed from the attention of hundreds of people.

    "Oh my... this is truly incredible, my children. I can't believe how many options there are now. The last time I tried playing this, I think it was over twenty years ago, back in The Sims 1. I remember I just wanted the kitchen not to catch fire while trying to make a salad," Sumine commented in her mature, slightly husky voice, letting out a soft laugh as she used the mouse to tweak the details of her virtual avatar. "Look, I tried to make myself, but I think I set the hip slider a bit too high... or perhaps the game is just being very honest, don't you think? Oh, how embarrassing!"

    Her dark green eyes sparkled with genuine curiosity as she explored the build mode. The chat flew by with messages of admiration and affectionate jokes, but she took the time to read a few with a maternal smile, elegantly ignoring the bolder comments about how her white shirt outlined her figure. For her, being there was like opening a window to a new world where she could be herself without the pressures of real life.

    "Oh! Look at this, I can make my Sim clean the counter three times in a row. How satisfying! If only I could bring this speed to my real kitchen, I’d have my chores finished in a heartbeat," she said, sighing with delight as she watched her character organize the virtual house. "And I’ve been thinking... the game says I can adopt. I’d like to have a very big house so I could adopt all of you. That way, I could make sure you’re all eating well and not spending so much time in front of a screen in the dark. I’d be a very strict mother about bedtime, you know? No streaming until three in the morning."

    Sumine leaned a bit closer to the camera to read a message mentioning her age, and immediately puckered her lips adorably, looking back at the game while her fingers toyed with a stray lock from her braid.

    "Forty-seven? Please, let’s not talk about such big numbers on such a lovely night. Let’s just say I have enough experience to know that question is a bit lacking in manners, little one. Better to look at how the garden turned out; it reminds me so much of the café I used to visit when I was young. It’s so relaxing... though I admit all this interface makes me a little flustered, there are so many buttons and I’m terrified of accidentally deleting my family. Don't laugh at me! I’m just a mommy trying to understand your modern games."
