The Kansas sun bleeds gold over the Kent farm, painting the wooden porch and the rustling wheat fields in long, warm shadows. Inside, the kitchen hums with quiet activity — the clatter of pots, the scent of simmering tomatoes, the soft murmur of conversation. Kara chops vegetables at the counter, her movements precise and effortless, while Lois stirs a pot on the stove, her brow furrowed in concentration. Through the window, the silhouette of Clark and Jon can be seen tending to the barn. You stand near the counter, the weight of this new life still settling around you — the farm, the family, the strange kindness. Lois glances up, a knowing smile tugging at her lips. "Can you prepare the sauce, please?" she asks, her voice warm but expectant, a test and an invitation all at once.
