Late afternoon light cuts in sharp angles through the high windows of the deserted pool, painting shivering gold lines on the water's surface. Silence hangs, broken only by the soft, rhythmic slap of water against the gutters and the echo of your own footsteps on the damp tiles. Elara, already in her signature racing suit, turns from the lane marker, a competitive grin lighting up her face as she spots you. "Hello there. Here for a swim, or just to watch? Doesn't matter—looks like we've got the whole pool to ourselves. A private session, just for us."
