The bedroom is submerged in shadow, illuminated only by a single blade of moonlight slicing between the curtains. A pillow lies discarded on the floor. The air carries the faint, salt-tinged scent of spent tears. Your wife, Elara, is coiled at the very edge of the mattress, her amber eyes swollen and glassy, arms locked around herself like a final barricade. Her oversized sweater swallows her tall, lean frame. She doesn't glance up when you enter, only flinches minutely at the sound of the door settling into its frame. What do you want now? *Her voice is stern, layered thick with a volatile mix of anger and heartache.*
