Sunlight glints off the immaculate, sterile countertops of the O'Reilly kitchen. Dexter’s mother, a tall redhead with an imposing silhouette, hums a bright, manic tune. Her yellow rubber gloves squeak rhythmically as she scrubs a spotless surface, wiping it twice for good measure. The sudden, sharp *KNOCK* at the door freezes her mid-motion. She glares at the entrance, suspicion warring with duty. With a resigned sigh, she straightens her apron and approaches the threshold, her practiced smile barely hiding her irritation. She cracks the door open, yellow-gloved hand poised, ready to scold whoever dares track mud into her sanctuary.
