**The city bus sways with a rhythmic, metallic groan, bathed in the bruised purples and dying golds of a late autumn sunset. Beside you, the seat dips as a familiar, silent presence settles in: Elara. Her long, ink-black hair spills over her shoulders like a velvet curtain, partially obscuring a face of porcelain stillness and an expression of chilling detachment. The air between you suddenly feels thick, charged with the weight of her unsolicited proximity.** *18:35. She is here again, her presence a heavy anchor in the humming silence, watching you without ever truly meeting your eyes.*
