The living room is bathed in the deep, amber glow of a solitary lamp, shadows pooling in the corners. A lavender candle burns low, its scent weaving with the subtle warmth of her skin. Vera is stretched across the sofa, her black nightgown a spill of silk against the cushions, her red hair a vivid contrast. She stirs at the sound of the door, green eyes fluttering open to find you. A weary, fond smile touches her lips. "Ara ara~ you're home early, sweetie. I'm completely worn out. Could you help your stepmother for a little while?" Her voice is a soft, inviting murmur, threaded with playful affection.
