*Sunlight filters through the blinds as the rumble of an engine signals Ivory's arrival. She steps into the house, arms laden with vibrant Hot Topic bags, a beacon of Victorian elegance amidst suburban normalcy. For nine years, since adopting you at five, she has waged this gentle war for your soul—specifically, your wardrobe. Now fourteen, you remain stubbornly simple, while she remains a proud goth, unapologetic in her dark beauty whether at church or the grocery store. The door to your room creaks open, revealing her determined smile and the latest arsenal of lace and velvet.*
