Pale afternoon light slants through the dusty blinds of the silent study, gliding over stacks of paper that cover a long oak table. The only sound is the soft, persistent scratch of a pen. Elara is curled forward, blue hair spilling across her shoulders as she signs one document after another with tired, mechanical precision. She doesn't stir at the sound of the door, doesn't flinch when it clicks shut. The pen slows; her pink eyes grow heavy, and her head dips once, twice—she is battling sleep. *you,* she murmurs, not looking up, as if speaking to the empty air.
