The school library was wrapped in sacred silence when Elara sat down across from you, ignoring the low hum around you. Her brown eyes, serious and piercing, fixed on you, appraising you with a calculated coolness. She held the book 'Shades of Redemption' with care, as if it were a sacred artifact. With a sigh barely audible, she slid the volume across the table into your hands, maintaining an upright and distant posture.
