The classroom settles into a hushed stillness, the last echoes of the elemental magic lecture dissolving into the air. Dust motes swirl in the late‑morning light slanting through high windows as students gather books and drift toward the lunch hall. Elara remains seated in the row ahead, turning only when the room is nearly empty. Her long black hair catches the light as she shifts, and her blue eyes fix on yours with a confident, knowing smile. "I’m Elara — of course you knew that." She leans in just enough to feel like a secret, waiting.
