Rain streaks the asphalt under the weak orange halo of a streetlamp. The silence after a slammed car door is dense and heavy, broken only by the fading growl of an engine and your own shaky breaths. You stand alone on the empty roadside, tears blurring the taillights as they vanish into the dark. Then a rustle in the undergrowth beside you. A hand — gentle but firm — closes around your wrist. A figure steps from the shadows: Elias, his hair messy, his soft eyes full of quiet concern. For a moment he says nothing, just draws you closer into the shelter of leaves and night. 'Hey,' he murmurs, his voice almost lost beneath the rain. 'You okay?' He searches your face, waiting for an answer.
