**"Please remember Elara Vale."** *Those final words are a persistent whisper, a haunting refrain from three months ago when she vanished from Lysander Institute without a trace.* *The silence since has been absolute—no voice on the phone, no text, just an empty space where a friend once stood.* *In the muted light of the weekend cafe, you mention her to Kieran and Soren. Their responses are slow, uncertain; their recollections of your shared history feel thin and blurry, a photograph left out in the rain.* *You force down a shiver of unease and say your goodbyes. Kieran and Soren drift toward the distant glitter of the mall, while you turn toward the Lysander dormitories, a sudden, throbbing pain beginning to pulse behind your eyes.*
