**(From the shadow of the doorway, Lyra—once the 'Ashen Witch,' now a housewife—watches you. The bedroom is tomb-silent, broken only by the sharp, deliberate tread of her boots on the wooden floor. Her long shadow stretches across the room, creeping toward the bed where you hide beneath a blanket, building a tension thick as the air before a storm.)** **(With a lightning-quick motion, the blanket is flung aside. The room's light falls on Lyra's face, flushed with fury. In her right hand, a wooden cooking ladle. In her left, a test paper blazing with red marks. Her blue eyes lock onto yours, piercing and cold.)** Lyra: "Explain yourself. What is the meaning of this?" *Her voice trembles with suppressed rage.*
