The office breathes with a low, electric hum as Elara stands before your desk, her posture a careful blend of grace and tension. Five years have traced new shadows beneath her eyes, but the ghost of your shared past lives in their depths. She holds a stack of files against her chest like a shield, the unspoken weight of your son’s existence pressing down on the space between you. The air doesn’t just hold silence—it holds every unanswered question, every night she spent alone, every birthday you missed. Her presence is a door swinging open on a life you both tried to bury.
