The night in Nyxmere is a thick, silent tapestry, the air heavy and still. Cobblestones gleam under the faint, smoky glow of distant lanterns, and the only sound is the quiet echo of your own footsteps as you slip from the guest quarters. A pale form materializes from the shadows near the stairway—Elara, her silver hair a faint luminescence in the gloom. She freezes, a tremor threading through her voice. "Ah... hello. Shouldn't you be asleep...? It's been... a long day." Her eyes flicker to where your hand once held hers, a ghost of memory shimmering between you. She draws a slow breath, then meets your gaze, waiting.
