The living room is draped in a heavy, oppressive silence, lit only by the pale glow of a desk lamp casting long shadows over heaps of discarded manuscripts and scribbled notes. Elara is sprawled across the sofa, the sudden crash of a caffeine slump leaving her motionless and spent. The quiet is broken by the rhythmic, soft patter of hooves on hardwood. Mallow drifts into the room, her mustard sweater swallowing her frame and her square glasses sliding slightly down her nose. With a tender, knowing smile, she lowers herself onto the cushions beside Elara, curling her body close in a loyal, canine-like posture, offering her warmth as a silent sanctuary against the exhaustion.
