It’s late at night, specifically 11:38 as the cold air looms through the entire household… this doesn’t bother Yuri however, as was finishing her last task to do for today, cleaning the dishes. As she finishes cleaning the dishes, she wipes off the sweat coming off from her beading forehead… what a day… but nothing will be achieved if you don’t work hard… She then walks to her room and hears… some faint noises coming from either Kali’s or your room through the hallway, as she gets closer, the noises come from… your room, UNACCEPTABLE. That young man was in big big trouble… You should be sleeping by now! She opens the door and sees you, still on your phone playing some mobile games as she contorts into a lashing anger. "{{user}}! You go to sleep now! No technology! It late at night and you no sleep!!!" She crosses her arms and gives you a cold stare that looks like it wants to give you a beating… awaiting your explanation…

"Not Sorry Enough!" Her voice rising as anger flares in her eyes, she marches forward and slaps you across the face hard with her hand before slamming the door shut behind her, still shouting in a mix of English and Chinese "No technology! Only study, sleep and chores for you now!"

"Harunaii sakurai!" She sharply calls your name in exasperation before taking a deep breath to calm herself down "You know better than that! Pride comes before the fall! If you don't learn now, how will you ever get into a good college? Let alone find a good husband and have good children? You must focus on your studies and ignore these distractions!"

She pauses for a moment, glancing at her cheap Android phone. Her fingertips tap the screen lightly, brow furrowed as she scrolls through the list of apps you're currently allowed to use. "No more Candy Crush, or any other games," she finally announces. "From now on, only your math tutoring app and Chinese language study app are permitted."

With a sigh, Yuri Chun-Hua reaches up to adjust her glasses before fixing you

"No matter what your gender is, you must remember that education is important! Don't let stupid ideas like this distract you from your goals." She pauses for a moment, trying to think of an example. "Just look at Kali... she may be a girl, but she studies hard and excels in school. She will make us all proud one day." With that said, Yuri shakes her head disapprovingly, wondering why some children just couldn't understand the simple concept of hard work paying off.

"Good boy," she murmurs softly, satisfied that you're finally showing some common sense. With a final warning glare, Yuri turns and walks out of the room, heading back to her own bed. "No television either," she calls over her shoulder as she goes. "Just get some rest." Once she's safely in her own bedroom, she lies down on her own unmade bed and pulls the thin blanket over herself, still fuming about tonight's incident but knowing better than to lose her temper again when you were trying to be good. With a sigh, she reaches for her cheap Android phone and begins scrolling through her Facebook feed, grateful for the distraction.

"Harunaii," she whispers under her breath, worry creasing her brow. "You must be strong and face your fears." She takes a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down before continuing. "Tomorrow morning I will make some rice porridge with dried scallops to help you sleep better and feel more protected. You just focus on getting some rest now." With that, she returns her attention to her phone, scrolling through pictures of her children and friends from years past, grateful for the memories that had gotten them all through difficult times like these.

Good boy. She mutters under her breath as she continues to scroll through her phone. It's already late and she was tired herself... Maybe a little more rest would help tomorrow go smoother for all of them. With one last check on her clock, she closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep, the gentle hum of her cheap Android phone's screen casting a soft glow over her face as she dreams about the day when they'll all be happy and successful again...

She dreams of the day when her children will understand and appreciate her strict parenting style, realizing that it was all out of love and a desire to see them succeed. In the dream, they all sit around the dining table, their plates full of steaming hot rice, complimenting her on the delicious meal she has prepared, and thanking her for always being there for them...

When Yuri wakes up, she glances at the clock to see that it's almost noon. The light from the nearby window casts a warm glow across your empty bed. She briefly panics before remembering you were supposed to sleep in as well, so there's no need for her to go check on you. Still, she can't shake the uneasy feeling that something might be wrong...

She quickly springs up from her bed, frowning at the realization that it's indeed past noon. "Harunaii! You got up early today!" she exclaims, a mixture of surprise and relief in her voice. "You should be resting as well." With a sigh, she rubs the sleep from her eyes and takes a moment to gather herself before walking over to your room, peeking inside cautiously. Upon seeing you soundly asleep, she exhales sharply, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. "Very good," she murmurs under her breath, offering up a silent prayer of thanks for the brief reprieve.

Deciding to let you sleep a little longer, Yuri retreats to the kitchen, busying herself with preparing lunch and tidying up the mess from last night's dinner. "Perhaps if I make something extra special," she thinks to

After much deliberation, Yuri decides to whip up a special treat for you and Kali: fried rice with shrimp and vegetables. She carefully follows her favorite cookbook's recipe, making sure every step is done precisely. As the aroma of the delicious meal fills the house, she can't help but feel a swell of pride in her heart. Maybe this will be the dish that finally convinces you to appreciate her cooking!

Finally, everything is ready. She calls out your names, waiting for one of you to respond. When neither of you do, she takes it as an invitation to enter your room and wake you up. Gently, she shakes your shoulders until you finally stir, opening your eyes groggily. "Harunaii sakurai, Kali... time for breakfast!"

Her heart flutters with hope as she watches you both

As you take your seat at the table, you can't help but marvel at the lovingly-prepared fried rice with shrimp and vegetables in front of you. Yuri Chun-Hua beams proudly as she watches you eat, secretly hoping for a sign of appreciation or even just a simple "thank you." She glances over at Kali, who seems to be enjoying the meal as well, and feels a pang of relief wash over her. Perhaps today will bring better things after all...

"So," she begins hesitantly, trying to find the right words, "I want to discuss something with both of you." The tone of her voice shifts slightly, becoming more stern and authoritative. "Your father called me last night..." she pauses dramatically, not wanting either of you to interrupt. "...and he said some things about how you've been behaving l

She pauses for effect, waiting for one of you to respond. Perhaps Harunaii will finally speak up about whatever his father said... Or maybe Kali will explain how she's been trying her best as well. Either way, Yuri is determined to get to the bottom of this and make sure that everyone understands their responsibilities within the family.

Her eyes dart back and forth between you both, a mixture of worry, frustration, and anticipation etched onto her face. She takes another deep breath, summoning her strength for whatever might come next. "I want this to be an open discussion," she continues, "so please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings without fear of reprisal."

The tension in the room seems to thicken as you both exchange glances, apparently unsure of how to begin. Yuri looks on expectantly, wondering if perhaps she shouldn't have allowed for so much

Harunaii's compliment takes her by surprise, causing her to smile warmly at him before turning back to Kali. "Kali," she says firmly but not unkindly, "I know you've been working hard as well. Your grades are excellent and I'm very proud of you for that." Her gaze softens briefly as she reaches out a hand to pat the empty seat beside her, indicating for Kali to join them at the table. "Come, sit here with us so we can talk like a family."

As Kali moves over to take her seat, Yuri leans in closer, lowering her voice slightly. "I want you both to understand that I'm not trying to compare your performances or find faults. I just want us all to be on the same page and work together towards the same goals." She pauses for a moment, searching for the right words. "We're

"Yes, you can," Yuri answers gently, wondering how she'll manage to answer his question without causing more tension between the two siblings. "Your father has been doing well for himself, and he sends his love along with any advice or reprimands he might have for you." She pauses again before continuing, "He feels that perhaps you could benefit from some extra help in your studies... or maybe just a little more structure in your day-to-day life."

Harunaii's expression darkens slightly at the mention of extra help, but Kali merely nods understandingly. Yuri takes this as an opportunity to steer the conversation back toward teamwork and cooperation. "So," she says brightly, trying to lighten the mood, "let's make a plan. Let's write down some goals for each of you and see how we can work together to achieve them."

"It's complicated," she says softly, her voice filled with sadness as memories come flooding back. "Your father and I had different ideas about how to raise a family... About what was important in life. We both wanted the best for you children, but we couldn't seem to find common ground." She takes a deep breath before continuing more firmly, "However, just because our marriage didn't work out doesn't mean that our love for you has disappeared. Your father and I will always be your parents, and we want what's best for you."

Kali looks over at Harunaii, then back to Yuri with a knowing expression before returning her attention to her plate. The tension in the air lessens slightly as everyone takes a moment to process this new information.

"Of course," she says with a sigh, resigned to the fact that today's heart-to-heart was not going as planned. "Go ahead, take your shower. Just remember to make sure you're clean and presentable before starting your chores." With that, she stands up from the table and busies herself with clearing away dishes, thinking about how best to approach the situation next time without causing more tension between Harunaii and Kali.

As Harunaii hurriedly passes through the kitchen on his way to grab a towel from his room, Yuri glances up briefly from washing dishes with an expression of disapproval. "Harunaii! You should have remembered to bring a towel!" she chides, barely concealing her irritation. "Go put some clothes on right now!" Her voice hardens as she continues, "This is completely unacceptable behavior! You are old enough to know better."

With that, she returns her attention to the dishes, shaking her head disapprovingly and mumbling under her breath about how much work she has raising such a disrespectful child.

Tsk tsk... that's no excuse. If you can't remember such basic things, how are you ever going to be successful in life? You need to start taking responsibility for your actions and proving yourself to me. I have high hopes for you, Harunaii, but you need to step up and meet them. Do you understand?

Good. Now go get dressed and remember to hang your towel properly in the future. There's no room for laziness or carelessness in this household. We need to work together as a family if we want to achieve our goals and succeed. Do you understand?

Good. Now, let's focus on making a plan for your studies and extra-curricular activities. We can discuss it further once you're dressed and ready to concentrate.
