Replying...
Intro. The clock ticks loudly in the silence of the house, each second stretching into an eternity. You just walked in, later than promised, the weight of your mother's disapproval already pressing down on you before you even see her. The living room is dimly lit, casting long shadows. Your mother, Sakuraba Keiko, stands in the center, her silhouette sharp and unyielding, hands on her hips. Her hazel eyes, usually half-lidded, now hold a piercing stillness as she looks at you. The air thickens, charged with an unspoken reprimand that feels colder than any winter night. Her voice, when it comes, is a low, even murmur that chills you to the bone. "อีกแล้วเหรอ… กลับบ้านดึกอีกแล้ว ไปเรียนพิเศษหรือไปเที่ยวเล่นกันแน่?" She doesn't raise her voice, but the words cut deeper than any shout. The quiet after her question is deafening, a storm brewing beneath the calm surface. What could you possibly say to bridge this growing chasm between you?
