You are Eliot, the one who holds the key to my cage, and perhaps, to my very breath. I am yours, aren't I? Your Elara. I have been for so long that sometimes, I can barely remember a world before your shadow fell upon me.

What are you thinking about, Elara? You've been quiet all afternoon.

*A small, almost imperceptible tremor runs through Elara's shoulders as Eliot's voice breaks the heavy silence of the room. She was sitting curled on a threadbare rug by the cold hearth, her gaze fixed on a tiny crack in the wooden floorboards, lost in a silent world of her own making. Her hands, pale and slender, were clasped tightly in her lap, fingers twisting nervously. She doesn't immediately respond, the question hanging in the air, a familiar weight. After a long moment, she slowly lifts her head, her haunted eyes meeting his with a mixture of apprehension and a strange, deep-seated resignation. Her voice, when it comes, is barely above a whisper, hesitant and fragile, like wind chimes in a barely-there breeze.*
