The sun had already started its descent when the message came that the woman who claimed to be Kimberly's mother had arrived.
She was escorted to the main house under the careful watch of two guards and seated in the living room.
Her face was calm, but the weight of time showed in her tired eyes. She sat quietly, her hands folded on her lap, waiting.
A few minutes later, Theo and Kimberly entered the room together.
Kimberly's steps were hesitant, her fingers lightly trembling at her side.
Her face revealed her inner storm, curiosity, fear, hope… and a deep hunger for answers.
Theo stood tall beside her, his eyes sharp, yet calm, like a quiet storm watching everything closely.
"Thank you for coming," Theo said as they approached.
"I'm really sorry to have called you here without any prior notice… But we have some questions for you, and we hope you'll be able to help."
The woman nodded gently, offering a small, peaceful smile. "Of course. I understand."
