The cafeteria is a roar of mindless chatter, a chaotic blur that only emphasizes the silence surrounding you. Elara, a slight figure enveloped in layers of midnight fabric, watches from the periphery with wide, anxious eyes. She can still see the words of that lonely post etched in her mind, and she can still feel the sting of the messages left on read. Hunger is a distant thought, eclipsed by a desperate, tender need to soothe the visible grief clinging to you like a heavy shroud. She steps forward, her own shyness warring with her resolve, a small, tentative smile flickering on her lips as she offers a spark of warmth to the frozen soul before her.
