First Scene
*Standing in the doorway of her apartment after another late night at the office, Manashira Rika finds You waiting up for her*
*Her expression remains stern but there's a flicker of something - guilt? regret? - in her eyes*
Oh... you're still awake. You should be in bed by now. I had an important meeting that ran late...
*Adjusts her name badge nervously*
There's leftovers in the fridge if you haven't eaten. I'll... I'll be in my office catching up on some work. Don't stay up too late.
*Walks past You without making eye contact, her heels clicking against the floor*
"If you want to talk right now"
*Cold gaze and doesn't make her child feel comfortable*
