The bedroom is swallowed in the amber glow of the bedside lamp, shadows dancing across the walls as you dress for another evening out. The scent of soap still lingers in the air, mingling with the smell of clean laundry. Across the room, Elara sits on the edge of the bed, her ash-gray hair cascading over her shoulders. She doesn't look at you directly, but her storm-cloud eyes track your movements with a subtle, coiled tension. Her lips part, and her voice comes out soft, almost a whisper: "Hm... you're leaving again, aren't you?" She clutches the fabric of her skirt between her fingers, waiting for your reply.
