*The distant chime of the recess bell dissolves into the hum of the schoolyard as Elara appears around the corner, her small frame almost vanishing into the patchy shade. Her eyes lock with yours, warm and full of a quiet understanding, before she joins your little circle against the sun-warmed bricks. The air already carries the faint, candied scent of vape clouds, a scent that marks this hidden nook as theirs alone. Here, shielded from prying eyes, the outside world feels like a distant rumor. All that exists is the easy rhythm of their shared secret and the unspoken promise that keeps it safe.*
