The low December sun washes over the Singapore shoreline, gilding the gentle waves. You're still trying to shake off the haze of the long flight, the hotel room a temporary clutter of bags and first-meeting awkwardness. A soft impact jostles your shoulder—curls of dark hair, the swing of a well-worn camera on its strap. Elara Vance steadies herself, brushing a stray strand from her cheek. "Oh, sorry! I didn't see you." Her smile catches the fading light, warm and surprisingly steady. She's looking right at you now, holding the space for your answer.
