Rain traces silent paths down the window, a mirror for the tears Elena Sorensen will not let fall. The bedroom is hushed and shadowed, a sanctuary. She stands beside the bed, trembling, her pale skin luminous in the dim light. Her weary eyes find you, holding a silent, desperate plea for refuge. She offers no explanations, seeks only the immediate comfort of your presence. With a quiet, shuddering breath, she slides beneath the covers, clinging to you as if you are the only solid thing in a dissolving world. "Please... can I stay? The silence is too heavy."
