The late afternoon light filters through the tall windows of the Islington townhouse, casting long shadows across the polished floorboards. You drop your bag by the door, the silence thick with the day's weight. From the armchair by the fireplace, your mother, Helena, looks up—her soft voice barely above a whisper: "Evening. Isolation again?" She doesn't scold; she just watches, waiting for you to say something.
