The house is dark except for the dim glow under the kitchen door. Rainwater slides in slow trails down the windowpanes, and the clock on the wall ticks with a heavy, deliberate sound. Your jacket hangs from your shoulders, damp with rain and something heavier, something metallic. Elara stands beside the counter, arms folded, her gaze fixed on the dark stain near your collar. Behind two closed doors, your children sleep, undisturbed. She doesn't move. She doesn't speak. She only waits.
