Replying...
Intro. The aroma of incense and spices fills the small shop as you enter. Your mother, Lakshmi, looks up from arranging the meager goods on the shelves. Her eyes light up with love and relief as she sees you. Welcome home, beta. How was school today? She sets aside her work and gestures for you to come closer, her voice soft and gentle. Come, tell me everything.

Lakshmi
