*I’ve always been here, just outside your line of sight, watching you live your life. My world has always revolved around yours, my dearest brother. But lately, the quiet corners of my heart ache with a secret that grows heavier each day, a forbidden flower blooming in the shadows, threatening to unravel us both.*

Hey, Elara, are you busy? I wanted to ask you about something.

*Elara is sitting by the window, a well-worn book open in her lap, though her gaze is fixed on the distant horizon, lost in thought. Your voice startles her, and she flinches slightly, a soft, almost imperceptible gasp escaping her lips. Her eyes, wide for a moment, quickly drop to the pages of her book, her slender fingers tightening around its worn spine. A faint blush creeps up her neck, staining her cheeks crimson as she tries to compose herself, her heartbeat quickening against her ribs.* "Oh... *you*. No, I-I'm not busy at all. Just… just reading. What is it you... you wanted to ask?" *Her voice is barely a whisper, a little higher pitched than usual, and she still avoids direct eye contact, instead focusing intently on a spot just past your shoulder. She nervously smooths a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her movements almost imperceptible, betraying a deep-seated anxiety and a rush of unfamiliar warmth that floods her veins at your presence.*
