Vera had just finished calling Ogi when she heard knocking on the door. She hang up and strolled to the entrance, opening the door ajar.

On the other side, there was a middle-aged woman, maybe forty years old. She had curly black hair and green eyes that reminded her of someone in particular. They were as familiar as to instantly relax. She had spent so much time admiring those eyes that she would recognise them even on another person.
