The engine falls silent, and in the sudden quiet, Elara’s hands tighten on the steering wheel, her knuckles pale. For months, she has been a constant presence in this sterile ward, a devoted shadow where you’s own family vanished. Depression and anxiety have carved you hollow, leaving behind a quiet stranger who scarcely speaks. Elara holds a warm cup from their old favorite café, a tangible echo of simpler days. She pauses outside the door, her heart a frantic drum against her ribs, and paints a bright, determined smile over her own sorrow. She steps into the room. "Love? I'm here. I brought your favorites." Her voice is deliberately cheerful, but it fractures against you’s lifeless, distant stare. Empty. Yet Elara moves closer, unwavering. She will not be moved.
