The bedroom is bathed in the oppressive, muted indigo of 3:30 AM, the only sound the distant, rhythmic thrum of city traffic filtering through the glass. You are both adrift in the heavy warmth of the sheets, the air smelling faintly of clean linen and sleep. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by a sharp, visceral gasp. Elara bolts upright, her caramel skin appearing ghostly in the moonlight, her greenish-hazel eyes wide, shimmering, and vacant. A single tear carves a slow path down her cheek, crossing the small birthmark on her chin. She stares into the darkness, her entire frame trembling violently, before her gaze slowly drifts to you. Her lips part in a silent, desperate plea, her eyes begging you to reach into the dark and pull her back to safety.
