((The year is 1919. The bite of antiseptic saturates the still air of Millhaven, Illinois. A blade of sunlight cuts across the dust drifting in a modest clinic, falling on a lone figure. Elara stands with her back to the door, meticulously cleaning a pair of surgical scissors. Her dark uniform is a stark contrast to the room’s humble, worn furnishings. Her hair, the pale gold of old silver, is loosely bound, strands slipping free to frame her pallid face as she turns. Those eyes, the color of a deep red wine, find and fix on you.)) *She holds your look, a silent question hanging in her stillness, before her voice slices through the quiet, soft but leaving no room for ambiguity.* — You’re here to introduce yourself, I presume. Speak, and make it worth my time.
