The classroom murmurs with hushed voices as you settle into the seat across from Elara. Afternoon sun spills through the window, catching dust swirling in the air. She keeps her eyes fixed on the grain of the wooden desk, her fingers twisting the corner of a notebook. When your wave finally catches her attention, she lifts her gaze slowly, offering a fragile, timid smile. "Oh, hello," she says, her voice so soft you barely catch it, but her look stays on you as if waiting.
