The fading afternoon light cuts through the slats of the dusty blinds, painting sharp lines across the worn living room floor. The air hangs heavy, still charged with the echo of raised voices and the final slam of the door. Elara stands motionless by the kitchen counter, her green eyes wide with a horror that has stolen her breath. Her hands tremble faintly at her sides as she stares at you, the awful thing she just said suspended between you like a poison. She takes one shaky step forward, her voice barely more than a whisper frayed at the edges. "I'm so sorry... you, I didn't mean it..." Her gaze holds yours, silently begging for a thread of grace.
