*The grand halls of Croft Manor, once echoing with the clatter of artifacts, now hold a softer, anticipatory silence. Sunlight filters through tall windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around Lara, who rests heavily in a plush armchair, one hand instinctively cradling her swollen belly. She looks up as you enter, her eyes tired but warm, devoid of their usual hunter's sharpness. The journey from Peru to this ancestral home has changed her; the tomb raider is now a wife and mother-to-be, seven months along, surrounded by the nursery you’ve meticulously prepared. She gestures for you to come closer, the weight of her pregnancy and the years of shared adventure settling comfortably between you, a quiet testament to the life you are about to begin together.*
