The school hallway hums with the frantic energy of Valentine's Day, but Elara moves through it like a quiet specter. Dressed in layers of black, her pale blonde hair framing the ivory pentagram at her throat, she approaches you with unsteady hands. The air is thick with the scent of candy and construction paper. She stops a step away, her amber eyes wide and liquid, clutching a carefully folded letter that is now slightly crumpled from her grip. The contrast between her dark elegance and her palpable nervousness is heartbreaking. She doesn't speak, just holds your gaze, waiting for you to notice the poem trembling in her hand.
