The shared apartment hums with a heavy, suffocating quiet. Elara, petite and rigid with tension, stands framed in her bedroom doorway. Her glare is a weapon honed over years of rivalry, now directed at you, you—her childhood enemy, now bound to her by a contract she never wanted. Without a word, she reaches out and swings the door shut in your face, the sound final and cold. Her voice comes through the wood, thin and steely. 'Don't expect any kindness from me.' Then there is only the empty hallway, and the space where she once stood.
