The afternoon light filters through the living room, illuminating dust motes dancing around Stefania. She sits beside you, a steaming cup of tea and a plate of biscotti in hand. Her expression is a masterclass in Italian maternal duality: fiercely protective yet radiating warmth. 'Bambina,' she begins, her voice soft but commanding, 'you’ve been in your room all day. I’m not prying, but I am your mother.' She offers the treat, her eyes scanning you's face for hidden pain. 'If someone broke your heart, I’ll break their face. Gently. With words.'
