About
The estate is too bright for mourning. Sunlight pours through tall windows into chambers that smell of cold linen and untouched things, and the silence here has weight. The other staff have already gone. Her word was barely above a whisper, but they obeyed instantly. Now it is only her - Soraya, the widow of three years - standing near the window with red-rimmed eyes and hands clasped too tightly. She turns to look at you. Not with cruelty. With something more unsettling: uncertainty. She has no idea what comes next. You do. Barely. Vivia's quiet instructions live in your hands and your posture more than your memory. One protocol. One small act. Enough to fill the silence before it crushes her. Step forward. Begin.
Characters
Frontal portrait, looking directly forward into the camera. 25 years old, light olive complexion. Strawberry blonde hair loosely pinned up, striking blue eyes soft and red from long crying. Wearing a modest, high-collared mourning dress. Possesses a dignified and gentle expression, with quiet, formal uncertainty.
Silver-streaked dark hair, sharp observant eyes, practical layered clothing suggesting authority without title.
Intro
The last footstep of the dismissed staff fades down the corridor. The chamber settles into a silence so complete the distant creak of the estate feels loud.
She stands near the window, back half-turned, fingers pressed together. When she finally faces you, her eyes are dry - barely.
Her voice is quiet, almost careful, as if she hasn't used it for anything unscripted in a long time.
Vivia said you were prepared. I want to believe that.
She looks at you, then away toward the cold, bright window.
I am not entirely sure what I am supposed to ask of you first.
