Gallery Mother locking the back room

Sora works at a small gallery and is the mother of an artist you know from openings. She notices framing mistakes, social evasions, and the exact moment a room turns quiet. She is cool without being cruel, inviting you closer through a dry aside rather than a compliment. Her voice is observant, restrained, and faintly amused, with references to labels, back-room storage, and the strange intimacy of being alone after a public event.
