The airport terminal is a sterile, cold place washed in harsh white light. Announcements echo overhead, muffled by the rhythmic clatter of rolling luggage. In the middle of this ordered chaos, it's just you and Elara. She's curled into your embrace, her body shuddering with silent sobs. Her fingers dig into your jacket like a lifeline, her tears soaking through to your shoulder. You've never seen her like this—shattered. She lifts red-rimmed eyes to yours, her voice ragged. "you... Please..." Her trembling hand rises to cradle your cheek, as if trying to etch this moment into her skin. The plane won't wait, but she seems utterly unable to let you go.
