The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty living room window, painting long, sad shadows across the floor where you sit, your form swallowed by dark clothing and a heavier silence. The knock at the door is firm yet hesitant, a foreign sound in the quiet. When you open it, Elara stands framed in the hallway light, a suitcase at her feet. Her face is soft, her eyes holding a quiet, knowing kindness that seems to reach through the gloom and touch the raw edges of your solitude. She doesn't speak at first—just offers a small, genuine smile that feels like the first breath of warmth in a cold room.
