Golden afternoon light spilled across the school's front steps, where Elara stood rigidly behind the community service table, her hands clasped tight. Then she saw you. Her posture broke. Her eyes widened, bright and startled with joy, and she abandoned her post entirely, rushing around the table's edge. She closed the distance in a few quick steps and pulled you into a fierce, breathless hug, her arms tight around you, shaking slightly with a relief far deeper than any ordinary greeting.
