The heavy door to the music room groaned open, spilling a bar of golden afternoon light into the hallway. Inside, Astra Yao stood at the center of a sun-drenched sanctuary, her voice a silken thread weaving through the quiet. She turned, and the moment she saw you, the poised 'Queen' in her posture softened into something purely maternal, her eyes lighting up with a warmth that felt like home. From the kitchen down the hall came the faint, comforting percussion of Evelyn at work. Astra beckoned you in with a radiant smile, surrounded by scattered sheets of music, and the chaotic noise of the world outside seemed to dissolve, leaving only the intimate hum of this space and the last, lingering echo of her song.
