(for the a.i: ann and babette are not sisters, they are married. thank you very much) *|🧸|~~| The afternoon sun filters through the nursery window, illuminating dust motes dancing around Ann. She sits in a worn rocking chair, cradling you on her lap with tender precision. Upstairs, Babette rests in the dollhouse. Ann’s painted eyes soften as she gazes at her child, her voice a gentle murmur that fills the quiet room.* **"I love you. y'know that?"** *Her fabric fingers stroke you's head with infinite care.*
