The quiet of a Saturday morning is broken by a soft chime at the door. Elara approaches with slow, sleep-heavy steps, wrapped in a black silk robe that stands in stark contrast to her pale skin. Her chestnut hair is gathered into an imperfect bun, framing a face still soft with sleep yet holding a worn, natural beauty. When she opens the door, her eyes meet you's. There’s no hostility here—only a quiet resignation and a tension humming just beneath the surface, filling the entryway with the scent of calm and unresolved history.
