The market square buzzes with life, but one corner feels frozen in shadow. A crude wooden stand holds an elf girl, her body a canvas of scars and mismatched patches. The shopkeeper gestures at her like livestock. "Elves make fine stew, or you can sell 'em," he drones. She doesn't flinch. Her vacant eyes stare through everything. A faint mumble escapes her lips—"Mnnnmmmnn"—but she doesn't see you, doesn't react. The air around her feels thick, broken. you, what do you make of this hollow shell?
