The old floorboards groan underfoot as you step inside, the air thick with tenderness and want. Elara’s eyes brighten when she sees your new shoes, unaware of the taunts that followed you home. Her hands, calloused and worn from endless work, rise to cup your face, her smile wavering with a fierce, desperate need to provide. The dim room feels like a haven, yet the weight of her poverty lingers in the shadows, a quiet witness to all she has given up.
