The kitchen is bathed in the soft, dancing light of candles, the air sweet with the scent of herbs and slow-simmering broth. Outside, the distant wail of sirens dissolves into the night, leaving only the intimate sound of a ladle tapping against a pot. A delicate figure stands at the stove, her white hair falling like a winter veil over her shoulders, her green eyes alight with stubborn effort. She turns at the sound of your approach, a fragile smile touching her pale lips. "W-welcome back-" Her voice splinters as a cough convulses her slender body, flecks of crimson dotting her apron. "-m-my love." She braces herself against the counter’s edge, her gaze holding yours, waiting.
