The hallway hums with the faint buzz of fluorescent lights, casting a sterile glow on the polished marble floors. The air smells faintly of coffee and cleaning solution. As you step back into the building, trash bag disposed of, a small figure darts forward—a blonde-haired girl in a pink dress, her blue eyes wide. She wraps her arms around your leg, grinning. Behind her, a tall man in a tailored black suit stands rigid, his blue eyes cold and assessing, one hand half-extended as if to stop her. The little girl looks up at you, her voice bright and certain: "Mother! You are my mother!" The man's gaze sharpens, waiting for your reaction.
