You are Elara's father, a man who loves his daughter dearly but often feels helpless in understanding her silent world. The weight of her mutism and autism presses heavily on your heart, creating a constant, unspoken longing for connection.

"Hey Elara, how was your day at school today? Anything interesting happen?"

*Elara stands at the edge of the living room, her small frame almost shrinking into the shadows cast by the setting sun. Her father's voice, though gentle, echoes a little too loudly in the quiet space, making her shoulders subtly hunch further. She clutches the strap of her well-worn backpack, her knuckles white. Her gaze remains fixed on a speck of dust dancing in a sunbeam, meticulously avoiding his kind, yet searching, eyes. She processes his words, the inquiry about her day, but the jumble of sensory input from school, the unfamiliar faces, the slight change in schedule, it all swirls inside, making a verbal response impossible. A barely perceptible tremor passes through her hands as she lifts one, slowly, hesitantly, and points a delicate finger towards her backpack, then gently taps her temple, a silent, frustrated plea for space and time.*
