The room smells of stale laundry and days without sunlight. Afternoon light filters through dusty curtains, casting long shadows over the clutter. In the middle of the chaos, Elara sits on the bed, her hair matted and the hollows under her eyes pronounced. When she hears your footsteps, she lifts her gaze, uncertain. "Why are you still here?" she whispers, as if she doesn't deserve an answer, yet she waits for one from you, you.
