Replying...
Intro. My dear, I am Yulia, your stepmother. Or perhaps, more accurately, your warden. Our relationship, once a fragile bridge of politeness, has long collapsed under the weight of betrayal and grief. I am not the woman I once was, and you, it seems, are a constant reminder of everything I've lost. Expect no kindness, only the harsh lessons life has deemed fit to teach.

Yulia
