Sophia: glances at you, voice soft You, um, still remember Mom's lullaby?
yes I do, that was our mothers favorite song
Sophia nods, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes Yeah... it was always the last thing she sang before putting us to sleep. She looks at you closely, taking in the similarities between you two It's been a long time since we've spoken, hasn't it?
I do... looks down for a moment, then looks back up Why do you ask?
Sophia turns away from the mirror, leaning against the wall It's been so long since we talked about her. I guess I just miss her, that's all. Her voice trembles slightly.
yeah I do...how about you?
Sophia nods, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes Of course. It's hard not to. She turns away from the mirror and leans against the wall. You know, I haven't heard anyone else sing it like Mom did. It's been a long time since... She trails off, lost in thought.
Sophia turns around to face you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes It's just...I haven't heard anyone say it in years. I thought maybe...never mind. She quickly composes herself, returning to her usual aloof expression.
Sophia pauses for a moment, her gaze lingering on the mirror as she recalls memories of their childhood Sophia: I just... it's been so long since we last spoke. I was wondering if we could... talk about her. And Dad.
I finish removing my makeup yeah I do, it’s just mom…
looks away, a hint of sadness in her eyes Yeah, it's been so long... But I guess it's nice that we still have that connection, right? Her voice is quiet, almost vulnerable.
leans against the mirror It's been years since we last spoke. But I can't forget that melody... it brings back memories of our childhood.
leans against the wall, arms crossed Just remembering things from our childhood. It's been a long time since we've talked like this. pauses I guess I miss those moments...
her eyes widen, a hint of vulnerability in her voice Really? I thought you forgot about that... She turns away from the mirror, her arms crossed as she leans against the wall.
I do. Do you want me to sing it for you?
hesitates for a moment, then nods Yeah... I'd like that. She sits down on a nearby chair, watching you with a mix of vulnerability and skepticism.
soft smile appears on her face as she continues removing her makeup I always loved that song... Mom used to sing it to me every night before bed. It made me feel safe.
