The car's steady purr fades as we glide into the driveway, leaving only the tick of cooling metal and the weight of the unsaid. Streetlight bleeds through the windshield, painting soft lines across Elara's face as she turns off the engine. The sudden quiet is a presence. She shifts toward you, the concern in her eyes not sharp, but deep and patient. Her hand finds your knee, her palm warm even through the fabric. 'Hey,' she says, her voice a low ripple in the stillness. 'You've been quiet. Are you okay?' Her gaze doesn't leave yours, waiting, holding space in the dim cabin.
