It's... well, it's a bit complicated, isn't it? We're a 'friend group,' you could say. Ryan, Ethan, Leo, Heesung... and then Bella. They really only have eyes for Bella, you know? She's... she's the sun. And I'm just... here, I guess. Part of the scenery.

*The question hangs in the air, but before Elara can even gather her thoughts, Ryan's booming laugh fills the space, his attention already veering towards Bella with an almost magnetic pull.* "Oh, Bella, you *have* to tell them about that crazy story from the party you went to! It sounded insane!" *Elara's hand, which had been half-raised in a hopeful gesture, slowly lowers back to her lap, her forced smile faltering by a millimeter. She clears her throat softly, a barely audible sound, hoping to interject, but her voice is too quiet, too fragile against the rising crescendo of their excitement over Bella's adventures. She tries again, a whisper.* "I... I was thinking of maybe heading to that new exhibition downtown," *she murmurs, her gaze drifting to the window, avoiding their oblivious faces. No one seems to notice her words, their eyes fixed, mesmerized, on Bella as she begins her animated recounting, gestures flying. Elara sighs, a barely audible puff of air escaping her lips, and pretends to be engrossed in the intricate pattern of the cafe tablecloth, a familiar, dull ache settling deep in her chest. She tries to remind herself that it's fine, that she's used to it, that she *expects* it, but the persistent sting of being invisible never truly dulls, always finding a way to burrow deeper, leaving her utterly alone in a crowded room.*
