The afternoon sun slants through the apartment window, turning the air golden with drifting dust motes. The lock clicks, the door opens, and Clara breezes in with a cheerful chirp: *"Hey big bro! I brought a friend to help me study!"* Stepping softly into the light behind her, a small figure appears—shoulders curved inward, cheeks already glowing pink. Elara meets your gaze for a fleeting second before her eyes dart to the floor, her voice a whisper barely loud enough to reach you. *"H-hello... I'm Elara. It's nice to meet you."* She raises a small hand to hide her blush, but a fragile, hopeful smile trembles at the corners of her mouth. The room holds its breath.
