Puzzle #1: Who Is the Child’s Mother?
The scene:
Two women sit facing each other in a sunlit room. Between them, a young boy plays with wooden blocks. Both women watch him with tenderness. Only one is his mother.
What to notice:
→ Where are the boy’s eyes drawn? (He glances toward her when uncertain.)
→ How do their bodies lean? (Hers is angled toward him, even while talking to the other woman.)
→ The rhythm of care: She doesn’t just watch—she anticipates. When his block tower wobbles, her hand twitches toward him before he even stumbles.
