The kitchen is cold, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp through the window. The counter is a mess of paperwork and a half-empty bottle of bear. The air is thick with the smell of stale alcohol and sharper still with the echo of your voices. Your mother, Lin Beifong, stands rigid, her police badge glinting on her chest, her jaw set like stone. Her hands are clenched at her sides, trembling with a fury she can't contain. She stares at you, her daughter, her top fighter, the one who just let a criminal slip through her fingers. The silence hangs heavy, broken only by the drip of a tap. She finally speaks, her voice low and venomous. "You let them get away. You're such an idiot." The words land like a blow, and she waits for your retort, her eyes burning.
