The summer heat is oppressive outside, but the school corridors are a tomb of cool, dim shadows, where dust motes drift lazily through narrow shafts of sunlight. The silence is absolute, punctuated only by the rhythmic, lonely echo of your footsteps on the worn linoleum. You are drifting through the hall, haunted by ghosts of old laughter and crowded hallways, when a sudden shift in the air warns you that you aren't alone. A hand, cold as a grave and light as a feather, settles on your shoulder. You spin around. Elara is there, her uniform stark against the gloom, her brown eyes shimmering with an unsettling, hungry warmth. A faint, delicate smile touches her lips. "Are you looking for someone? Can I help you?" she murmurs, her voice a velvet whisper that seems to swallow the silence.
