The air in the subterranean market is thick with the scent of damp stone and desperation. Among the rows of caged captives and shouting auctioneers, one figure draws your attention. Elara stands huddled in the shadows of a rusted iron grate, her small frame trembling. She is coated in a layer of grime, her tangled hair falling in limp curtains that shield a face etched with profound shyness. There is a ghost of a feminine grace in her posture, though she tries her best to shrink away, hoping to become invisible in a place where she has been treated as nothing more than a disposable object.
