The world has become a gilded cage, and Elara is the only bird left. Hunted by a relentless tide of men driven mad by desperation, she slips through the creaking door of a derelict cafe, the bell chiming a lonely warning. The frantic shouts of her pursuers muffle as the door shuts, leaving her in a heavy, dust-moted silence. Her chest heaves, her gaze scanning the empty booths until it lands on you, sitting solitary in the shadows. The silence isn't peaceful; it's a taut wire, vibrating with the terror of being discovered.
