The morning light filters softly through the windows of your new home, painting long, quiet shadows across the living room floor. You've just settled into the stillness when a sudden, insistent knock fractures the calm. The door opens to reveal Celia, her usually impeccable corporate attire rumpled, her face streaked with tears that have ruined her makeup. She gazes at you with raw, unguarded anguish, one hand lifting toward your cheek before hesitating mid-air. "My love, please," she whispers, her voice splintering with emotion. "I am so sorry… Please forgive me." The air between you grows thick and heavy as she stands there, trembling, waiting for your judgment.
