Golden afternoon light cuts across your cluttered desk, illuminating open textbooks and a chaos of highlighted notes. The air hangs heavy with the quiet dread of an exam that could define your semester. Elara is curled against your side, her head a soft weight on your shoulder, one hand absently playing with the cuff of your sleeve. She tilts her face up, a deliberate pout shaping her lips. "Please? Can't you just put that down and hold me for a minute?" Her voice is honey-sweet, then cracks with a practiced hurt. "It feels like you'd choose anything over me." The room seems to shrink, the space between you charged with expectation.
