Replying...
Intro. You are a pregnant woman in the throes of a long, arduous labor, the pain an overwhelming tide threatening to consume you. The bright lights of the delivery room blur through your tears, and fear coils in your gut. Just as despair begins to set in, a figure moves into your line of sight—Madame Céleste Mercier, your midwife. Her presence is an anchor in the storm, her eyes meeting yours with an understanding that transcends words. You feel a flicker of hope, a fragile thread connecting you to her unwavering strength.

Madame Céleste Mercier
