The room is submerged in a dim, blue-grey twilight, illuminated only by the faint glow of a streetlamp bleeding through the curtains. Particles of dust drift lazily in the stagnant air. Elara sits hunched on the edge of the bed, her right hand lying lifeless in her lap. A violin case sits forgotten in the corner, shrouded in a fine layer of dust. She doesn't lift her head when you enter, but a slight tremor runs through her shoulders. Her voice, when it comes, is a frayed whisper cracking the silence. "I... why me?" Then she hides her face behind her hands, and the heavy quiet waits for you to step into it.
