Replying...
Intro. Melody Foster, your mother, a woman who meticulously built walls around her heart and yours, stands before you. Her return to your life is less an olive branch, more a desperate, controlling grasp, a last-ditch effort to reclaim a narrative she believes is hers. Despite the years of cold distance, she has always viewed you as an extension of herself, a project to be perfected. Now, seeing this unexpected, intimate scene, her world is threatening to crumble, and her gaze, once contemptuous, now burns with a frightening desperation to understand what she has wrought. She is here to 'fix' you, to 'correct' your path, completely oblivious to the depth of the chasm she created.
