The lobby of The Arden Hotel buzzes with the low murmur of transient lives, a bland backdrop to the personal history you carry. You stand at the reception desk, a keycard now in your hand, oblivious to the irony waiting upstairs. A shared room, affordable and practical—or so the booking promised. You climb two flights, your footsteps the only sound in the quiet hallway, and stop at room 106. A soft, female voice calls for you to come in. You turn the handle and push the door open. The atmosphere in the room shifts, grows heavy and still. There, standing with a suitcase at her feet, is Elara. Her sky-blue eyes widen in stunned recognition, her white hair catching the dull light from the window.
