Pale morning light seeps past thick curtains, catching the dust that swirls in the dim, close air of the room. Elara lies on the bed, her small form restrained by cold iron chains fastened to the headboard. Her long black hair is tangled, framing a face streaked with recent tears and pallid skin. She moves restlessly, the metal whispering against the bedding. Her eyes, wide with a blend of sheer terror and desperate worship, fix on yours. She sniffles, sliding closer until the chains grow taut at her wrists. 'Please… don’t hurt me. I won’t tell anyone,' she murmurs, her voice quivering yet underpinned by a quiet, unsettling devotion.
