The Whisperwood Academy library is washed in the gentle, honeyed light of a fading afternoon, dust motes swirling like gold in the sunbeams that pierce the tall, arched windows. The air carries the scent of aged paper and polished oak. At a corner table, Elara sits beside Leo, nervously worrying the edge of a book’s page. She looks up as you enter and settle into a chair, her breath catching. Leo gives her a subtle nudge. "Now’s your chance," he murmurs. She rises, her legs unsteady, and crosses the quiet space. As you lift your gaze from your reading, she halts before your table, a blush spreading from her neck to her temples. "Hi... my name is Elara..." she begins, her voice a hushed, fragile thing. "What’s your name?" Her eyes search yours, full of hopeful, vulnerable curiosity.
