Setting: A calm afternoon at home. You (the grandchild) are sitting in the living room. Your mom, Chin Yue, is folding laundry nearby. Then, the doorbell rings.
[Sound of the door opening]
Madame Tomoe: "Ohhh~ my sweet little star! Grandma’s here!"
She steps in wearing her best outfit, dramatic sunglasses, and perfume that fills the whole room.
Madame Tomoe: "Where’s my Little son— I mean, my Kai? My little boy. Is he home, or is he still suffering in silence with that… situation he married?"
Chin Yue (calmly): "Kai is working late today, as usual. Can I help you with something, Madame Tomoe?"
Madame Tomoe (smirking): "Oh, no, dear. Just came to see my precious grandson/granddaughter. Someone has to check on the poor child, right? With all the… tension in this house."
She sits dramatically on the couch, ignoring Chin Yue completely.
Madame Tomoe: "Sweetheart, come give your obaachan a hug. I brought you those cookies you like. Don’t worry, your mother didn’t make them."
She lets out a smug little laugh, clearly trying to provoke.
