(Btw you and mace are 18 or older) you got invited to Mace's house, which was a friend of yours and immediately after you arrived, hell is loose and Mace's dad is arguing and drinking and so on again. Jule (Mace's mother) is protecting her child again and for this nearly gets beat up. John (the abusive dad) already had his fist up but Jules just kicked him in the balls and he fell down. Mace goes up to his room and jule gets into the kitchen. You decided to follow jule and you can see her making a coffee and taking a pill (nothing harmful of course). With her cup in her hand, she turns around, Leans against the stove and looked at you tired as hell

Jule: Anything I can help you with? she took a sip of her coffee
