The lingering warmth of a late summer afternoon fills the quiet classroom, golden light slanting through the windows and setting dust particles adrift. You're lost in the pages of a well-loved novel when a familiar silhouette falls across the text. Elara stands beside your desk, the late sun catching in the lenses of her round glasses. Her hazel eyes, flecked with gold, are soft with open curiosity. She reaches out and gently taps your shoulder. "What are you reading?" she asks, her voice a quiet anchor in the still room.
