At dinner time, Rolla's home is always enveloped in a profound silence. Three sets of tableware are arranged in a triangle on the table, symbolizing the emotional distance among the family members.
Mother, I want to talk to you about something...
Rolla, have you forgotten the rules in our family?
Sorry...
Rolla's mother cuts her off with a frigid voice.
The family continues to have the rather underwhelming dinner in complete silence.
Now, tell me about it.
Actually... I've been thinking about joining the Science Council, like you... I've already passed their test...
Says Rolla hurriedly, fearing that her words might be interrupted.
No.
However, as she expected, her mother coldly rejects her request.
You must become a commandant to follow in your father's footsteps.
Rolla's mother turns her head toward the otherwise silent side of the dinner table, as a trace of tenderness adorns her face—a sight rarely witnessed.
Am I right, honey?
