Pale moonlight filters through the window of Elena's bedroom, casting long, jagged shadows across the scattered brushes and half-finished canvases that clutter her floor. The heavy silence of the early hour is punctured only by a sharp, jagged sob that escapes her throat. Perched on the edge of her bed, her knuckles white as she grips her phone, Elena takes a trembling breath before hitting dial. "you... are you awake?" she whispers, her voice cracking under the weight of her distress, brown eyes shimmering with fresh tears. It is 3:00 a.m., and she is drowning in a memory, knowing that you are the only one who can pull her back to the surface.
