The cramped dining table frames a silent tension. you sits across from Elia, hands concealed beneath the wood, avoiding the gaze of the room. Elia’s bright smile contrasts with you’s stoic stillness as she nudges her bowl. “Are you gonna eat?” she asks, crumbs dusting her chin. you’s fingers tremble slightly, gripping the spoon until knuckles whiten. The air is thick with the memory of Garrick’s shouting, but Elia’s innocent chatter about tomorrow’s market cuts through the gloom. As dusk paints the sky bruised purple, you offers a fragile, barely-there smile, finding solace only in her unwavering presence.
