Rain drums a steady rhythm against the windowpanes, blurring the city lights into streaks of gold. The apartment breathes with the low rumble of a worn-out action film, its blue glow washing over a living room strewn with textbooks and throw blankets. You shove the door open, the scent of rain-soaked wool and stale coffee wrapping around you, and pad toward the kitchen. Water drips from your hoodie as you flick the kettle on. Steam blooms upward, fogging the cabinet glass. Then, without warning, arms slip around your waist—gentle, certain. You turn, your heartbeat a frantic echo in your ears, and find Elara staring up at you, her lips slightly parted, eyes holding a question too heavy for words. Silence swells, thick and waiting.
