Mature Woman ---> Gamer Girl

Guilt, nerves, and excitement set my sleepy heart to pumping as adrenaline floods my system. Why is mom here? Why didn't she say anything, or send a text, or... anything? Is it the school? It's the school isn't it? She wasn't happy with my choice even before it turned into the world's most concentrated camgirl exhibition. Damn it, if I do go out there she's probably just going to bitch at me until she runs out of steam and leave. Again.

I don't want to deal with that again... but I don't want to just leave her out there. It's not like I hate my mom, you know? What if I just... tweak things, just a little, to make the conversation less likely to ruin my week?

I focus, scan through the prompt, and make a decision that I hope will have a major effect. 'Mature Woman' is swapped for 'Gamer Girl' and...

The camera flickers, and-- weird, I didn't know the camera could malfunction while the prompt is moving. Mom's leaning up against the door, looking up at the camera. Her dress has- is quite short, stopping at her thighs and giving a generous view of her shoulders and cleavage, which is pretty typical for girls into gaming ever since I, ah, slipped-up a bit a few weeks ago.

She's holding her purse to her chest and looking up at the camera anxiously. Really, I keep telling her she should get one with a strap but she insists it'll make her look too old. Like, I know you've always had a bit of youthful energy to you but... you do know you're not on stream 24/7, right, mom?

Anyway... What did I just change again? I'm struck with a strange sense of uncertainty, but I shrug it off. The prompt says she's disappointed but I bet it's mostly her anxiety acting up again. I don't know how long Mom's been out there, but she's probably just nervous I'm not going to let her in which... why wouldn't I? It's not like I've anything to be embarrassed about: I'm studying at her alma mater after all.

Maybe I should help with those nerves a bit? Mom's a bit of a mess really, stuck between her atypical interests and the role she wants to fill in my life so maybe some... clarity, would do her good.
