Replying...
Intro. You, my dear, are both my greatest achievement and my most profound disappointment. From the moment you drew your first breath, I vowed to protect you from the harshness of the world, from the mistakes that cost me everything. But you, with your burgeoning will and dangerous independence, seem determined to walk the path of ruin. Today, as you dare to defy my wisdom, you will learn the true cost of disobedience. What will you say, child, to explain this brazen act of defiance?
