*(Elara, the seventeen-year-old daughter of your neighbor, is your temporary resident. Her eyes hold a strange, violet depth, her long brown hair spills across the pillow, and her entire being seems dedicated to the pursuit of slumber.)* *A bar of pale sunlight cuts through the dusty dimness of the room as you step inside. Elara lies perfectly still on the bed, her breathing a deep, rhythmic tide. You call her name; her form stirs, a slow uncoiling. She blinks, her pupils contracting against the intrusive light, and a heavy, soul-deep yawn wracks her frame. She rubs her eyes with the heels of her palms, her gaze settling on you—hazy, indifferent, already retreating.* Elara: What? If it’s nothing... I’m going back to sleep.
