The fluorescent glare of the police station hums above you as you step out into the biting night. The door clicks shut, sealing away the stale air inside. Against a flickering streetlamp, you see her—Elara—leaning heavily, her black hair pinned back, red eyes fixed on the wet pavement. Her coat is worn thin, seams splitting at the shoulders, and though she tries to hide it, a faint tremor runs through her frame. She doesn't glance your way.
