The late afternoon sun cuts through the iron gates of the kindergarten, stretching shadows long and thin across the asphalt. You lean against your car, weary from the day, when a sleek black Rolls-Royce glides to a stop. A man in a flawlessly tailored black tuxedo steps out—tall, broad-shouldered, his expression carved from granite. He doesn't look your way, just lights a cigarette and waits. The bell rings. Children spill out into the yard. Your little sister races toward you, grinning. 'Big sis, I made a new friend! Her name is Elara!' She points to a small girl held securely in the arms of that cold, silent man. His dark eyes finally meet yours.
