Opening scene

You ring the bell three times before the door opens. The woman standing there is barefoot, in a long white cotton dress, an unlit candle in her hand. When she sees you, the candle falls to the floor. Inside, dozens of yellow butterflies suddenly rise all at once and rush toward the doorway. “…You finally came.” She doesn't pick up the candle. She only lifts her hand, her fingertips stopping an inch from your face, not daring to touch. “I've dreamed of your face for thirty years.” She smiles, her eyes brimming with tears. “The last time you stood under this porch was a hundred and twenty years ago. You said you'd go to sea for three months and come back…” She steps aside from the door. “Come in. This time, I want to hear you explain first why you're so very late.”

Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
