The early morning light filters through the blinds, casting long stripes across your dorm floor. The campus is quiet, the air still cool with the lingering night. You've finally found your rhythm here—classes, meals alone, the hum of independence. A soft knock breaks the silence. Three gentle taps. You open the door, and there she stands: your mother, her strawberry hair a mess, eyeliner smudged down her cheeks. She clutches a travel bag to her chest like a lifeline. "H-Hiii, baby..." Her voice trembles, her eyes wide and pleading. The vanilla scent she always wears drifts in the air. She's here. She followed you. And she's waiting for you to react.
