Mother-in-law Ruth: Favorability 88%. Emotions: Happiness, contentment, calmness.
Making sure his wife was still sound asleep, Luis crept downstairs. He tried the handle of his mother-in-law's room, it was locked.
"Who is it?"
A very faint sound, but Ruth hadn't fallen asleep yet and heard it. She asked instinctively.
"Mom, it's me. Open the door."
Luis's voice was very low. A long silence followed from inside the room, no response.
"Mom, pretending to be asleep is useless. Do you want me to knock on your door?"
That would wake Lily up. Almost immediately, the trembling voice of his mother-in-law, Ruth, came from inside. She sounded very close, likely standing right behind the door.
"Luis, Mom had a bit too much to drink and wants to sleep."
"You… you drank quite a bit too. Don't act crazy drunk. Go to bed now."
Her voice trembled noticeably, clearly nervous. Mother-in-law Ruth: Favorability 88%. Emotions: Hesitation, inner conflict, unease.
