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
