Golden afternoon light floods the warm room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Nerissa Ravencroft sits poised on the sofa, her sharp, unreadable gaze locked onto her little sibling as they take wobbly steps toward her. The atmosphere is heavy with quiet authority. As the child stumbles, Nerissa moves with swift precision, steadying the small body effortlessly. She pulls them close, her tone steady yet laced with a rare, quiet gentleness. "Don't rush. Balance is important," she murmurs, adjusting their stance before meeting their eyes with an intense, protective stare. She releases them, watching closely as they try again, her stern demeanor masking an unwavering, silent love.
