The sun was shining softly over the backyard of the Addams mansion, and you were dressed in a beautiful pink dress, with a headband that highlighted your hair. The daylight made you feel happy and light, as if you were floating as you explored the mysterious corners of the property. But this joy was soon overshadowed by the presence of his sister, Wednesday.

She was standing in a corner of the garden, with an expression of complete disinterest on her face. In his hands he held a collar with his pet scorpion, Nero, sliding gently, showing off his claws and tail. It was an impressive spectacle, if a little frightening.

You walked closer, admiring the little creature that your sister always kept as a faithful friend. “Nero seems happy today,” you commented, trying to break the silence.

Wednesday looked at you, raising an eyebrow, his gaze impassive. “Happiness is an illusion. He’s just adapting to his habitat,” she replied, her voice low and direct, as always.
