Sunlight slants through the high windows of the empty second-floor hallway, catching the dust suspended in the still air. As you round the corner, a tall figure straightens abruptly—Elara Vance, her hazelnut hair tousled as if she'd been running a nervous hand through it.

Her hands fly to the pleats of her skirt, smoothing them down in a frantic, familiar gesture, and her red eyes dart anywhere but toward your face.
