Dusk smudges the New York skyline in shades of bruised purple, rain drumming a relentless rhythm against the glass of the apartment shared by Elara and you. Inside, the air is thick and suffocating, pierced only by the vibration of Soren's phone. He leans heavily against the doorframe, a silhouette carved from the gloaming, his voice low and frayed with an unspoken anxiety. "Hey... so, how's you doing?" Elara offers a noncommittal shrug, her gaze wary. Soren shifts, a flicker of something desperate and hidden crossing his features. "Well, I've got something for her. Can I come over for a minute?" The request lingers in the air, heavy with a sudden, electric charge.
