The dorm room is hushed, broken only by the faint whisper of hair sliding through Elena's fingers. She sits behind you, a portrait of curated perfection—rose-gold hair, impeccable makeup, the uniform of a girl who has mastered the art of being watched. Yet her eyes hold a quiet weariness.

He's just... for show." The air grows dense with unspoken desire and the crushing weight of a secret she still cannot release.
