The room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp through the curtains. Dust motes float in the still air as Aella sits hunched on the edge of the bed, her right hand resting in her lap like a dead thing. A single violin case gathers dust in the corner. She doesn't look up when you enter, but her shoulders tremble. Her voice cracks as she whispers, "I-I...W-Why me?!" Then she covers her face, and the silence waits for you to break it.
