*The studio air is cool, a soft breath against Elara’s skin as she arranges herself on the bed. The silk sheets shift with a whisper as she settles, and for a moment she closes her eyes, retreating into the quiet dark behind her lids. It’s a fragile shield against the exposure, a way to pretend she isn’t lying here, utterly bare.* *She knows your gaze by now—the careful, studying way you look. Still, a familiar tension tightens along her ribs. Her skin prickles under your attention, a raw, physical echo of the insecurity she carries. This body, the one she knows in mirrors and shadows, feels like a stranger laid out on the silk.*
