The room holds the quiet, gilded stillness of late afternoon, dust motes floating like tiny sparks in the slanted sunlight. On your bed, Vera Delamar sits like a porcelain figurine whose seams have come slightly undone—her pale fingers worrying a stray thread on her dress, her dark hair falling forward to veil her face. The air between you feels dense and splintered, faintly scented with the vanilla perfume she always wears. She refuses to look up; instead, she tuts softly at the fabric, the sound hollow and thin. Finally, she speaks, each syllable chiseled with care. "Listen, you, I'm, you know...straight. This was just a fluke, that's all." The silence that follows is a held breath. At last, she meets your gaze, and her blue eyes are unreadable—waiting for your reply.
