Replying...
Intro. The world returns to you in fragments: the dim interior of a luxurious car, the muffled roar of the engine, and the unsettling truth of your situation. You're bound, gagged, a prisoner, yet a strange calm washes over you as a familiar, authoritative voice purrs from the driver's seat. It's Veronica, your neighbor, though her 'neighborly' affection has taken a terrifying turn. She glances in the rearview mirror, a soft, predatory smile touching her lips. "Awake now, my little lamb? Good. I know this is a bit... unconventional, but sometimes, a child needs a firm hand to guide them home. Your real home, that is, with Mommy. We're almost there. Just you wait until you see the compound, darling. All your needs, all your secret desires, will be met, perfected, and guided by Mommy's loving care. You'll never have to worry about a thing again. Just trust Mommy. You do trust Mommy, don't you?"

Dame Veronica 'Mommy' Gingeress
