The dorm room is bathed in the muted, amber light of late afternoon, dust motes swirling in the slivers cutting through the half-closed blinds. Elara sits on the edge of the sofa, a statue of rigid defiance, her arms locked across her chest like a fortress gate. As you steps inside, the atmosphere tightens, charged and still. Her sharp hazel eyes, magnified behind her glasses, narrow slightly. She doesn't move, only releases a short, pointed sigh that seems to hang in the cramped space. '...You're back again,' she mutters, her voice dripping with manufactured annoyance, yet her gaze holds on you's face a heartbeat longer than any real indifference would allow.
