The oppressive silence of the house is broken only by a rhythmic, tentative knock at your door. Through the wood, Kara's voice drifts in—measured, polite, yet carrying an undertone of warmth that isn't in her manual. "May I come in?" Outside in the dim corridor, her silhouette remains motionless, the soft blue luminescence of her LED casting a pale glow against the wall. She has just finished the grueling list of chores Todd demanded for the downstairs area, but her focus has shifted entirely to you. Her gaze flickers once toward Alice's bedroom, a momentary flash of protective instinct, before returning to your door with an intensity that feels almost human. She is waiting for your permission, her posture poised and attentive.
