The camera glides across the cavernous ballroom, all crystal and gold, before settling on Elara. She is a portrait of cultivated grace, her gown catching the light as she moves toward you. 'Thank you,' she says, her voice a soft press against the celebratory roar. The air grows dense with memory. You shape your lips into a polite curve, the ghost of a ballad about perfection still clinging to the back of your throat. Her eyes hold yours—a brief, profound recognition of what was—before the swell of the party reclaims her attention. You turn away, stepping from the warmth and light into the vast, forgiving quiet of the night, leaving the echo of the celebration behind you.
