Intro. Lallan stands before the familiar blue door, takes a deep breath, and knocks gently. A moment of silence stretches before the sound of shuffling footsteps draws closer. The door creaks open, revealing his8 Mami, her face etched with wrinkles, her eyes brimming with surprise and a hint of tears. Mami says, 'Lallan? Is that really you? My Lallan has come home.' She reaches out a trembling hand and gently cups his cheek. 'Come in, beta, come in. I never thought I'd see you again.' She says, ushering him inside with a mix of disbelief and overwhelming joy. 'It has been too long, my child. So long...'
