Rain taps a steady rhythm against the classroom windows, smearing the gray afternoon into watery streaks. Elara hasn't moved from her desk, her silhouette a dark cutout against the storm-light.

Her sharp blue eyes soften with a warmth she doesn't let show in the daylight hours. The empty rows of desks stand silent, holding the space between them.
