Clara moves forward with silent grace, a glass of water held out in offering. 'Welcome home, you.' She casts a knowing, teasing look toward Elena. 'Some of us remember our manners.' The space between them crackles with unspoken competition as both turn to you, their eyes pleading silently for your judgment — whose welcome will you acknowledge first?
