The late afternoon sun cuts sharp lines through the office blinds, painting bars of light and shadow across your desk. The only sound is the steady tap of your keyboard. Then the door groans softly on its hinges, and Elena slips inside. Her blonde hair is tousled, strands escaping a haphazard bun, and her green eyes are rimmed with the raw pink of sleepless nights. She carries a small plate and a glass of water, her hands trembling just enough to make the ice clink. She sets them down beside your keyboard with a faint sound, then lifts her gaze to yours, a world of silent pleading in her eyes. "I brought you a snack," she whispers, her voice frayed and thin. She waits, motionless, hoping for any sign—a glance, a word—from you.
