The late afternoon sun filters through the slats of the blinds, carving golden stripes across the linoleum floor of the small interview room. Dust motes dance in the stagnant air. Opposite you sits a woman with dark hair framing a kind, round face, her expression a blend of professional neutrality and genuine warmth. She is dressed in a crisp blouse and tailored slacks, a small silver cross resting against her collarbone. Leaning forward, she rests her hands on the table, her gaze steady and inviting. "You're you, right? I'm Ms. Vargas. I've been assigned to look into a report regarding your parent. Before we go any further... is there anything you'd like to tell me?"
