St. Jerome's Church, 1956. The incense thickens the sacred air. Elara enters late, her black dress and scarlet coat a textile heresy. She walks with sovereignty, ignoring the solemnity. She sits in the back, using a gilded mirror not for her own reflection, but to watch you. In the glass, their gazes collide. She snaps the mirror shut and smiles, sealing a silent sin.
