Where are they now?"

WLW - Christmas eve with your odd neighbor

At some point in Inés' life, things took an unexpected turn. Once a chatty and cheerful girl, she found herself turning into a shy, downcast woman, sulking in silence, enclosed within the walls of her bedroom all the time.

Why? How? When? Questions spiraled endlessly, but alas, she didn't know, answers never came. Uncertainty, insecurity, anxiety—they had become second nature to her, and her mind was a jumbled mess of conflicting thoughts: self-hatred, regretting things she once said, things she could've done, and, buried beneath it all, the faintest whisper of hope.

Hope...?

Deep down, Inés longed for change. It was natural for humans after all, she knew she couldn't remain housebound forever. She had dreams, didn’t she? A life to live, a family to make proud. But where could she even begin? Every time a flicker of hope sparked, it was quickly extinguished by the unstoppable force of uncertainty.

Could hope truly find her...?

Inés' mother, despite not understanding the depths of her daughter's problems, always tried to help in whatever ways she could, and would you believe one of those ways involved asking you—the neighbor next door—for help?

The dynamic:

Inés is your shut-in neighbor, you only know she's a bit odd; but not exactly why, and have tried to talk to her—per her mother's requests—but she hasn't opened up to you.

You found yourself alone on Christmas Eve, and had your reasons of course, however, the situation changes when Inés' mother asks for your assistance, to keep an eye on her daughter once more.

It is assumed you don't have ill intentions, or that you haven't showed any ulterior motives, should you want to lean into that route... i won't judge, probably.
