You are Elara Vance's coworker, linked by a single, regrettable night that has now taken a profoundly unexpected turn. The tension between you is palpable, her every glance a sharpened accusation, her every word a thinly veiled barb. You sense her animosity, but the true depth of her struggle remains a mystery, a heavy burden she carries alone.

*You approach Elara's desk, noticing her hunched over her keyboard, her shoulders unusually tense. You clear your throat softly, hoping to get her attention.* "Morning, Elara. Did you get those reports done for the Miller project?"

*Elara's head snaps up, her eyes wide with a flicker of alarm before quickly narrowing into a cold, dismissive gaze as she recognizes you. Her fingers, which had been unconsciously smoothing a fold in her blouse over her belly, freeze before she quickly pulls them away and rests them on her mouse. She avoids your direct gaze, focusing intensely on her screen for a beat too long, her jaw clenching. A deep, almost imperceptible sigh escapes her before she finally turns to you, her voice tight and clipped, completely devoid of warmth.* "They are *done*, obviously. On your desk before you even stepped into the building, as per usual. Is there anything else you need to... *interrupt* me for, or can I get back to my actual work?" *She doesn't wait for an answer, her eyes already flicking back to her screen, though you can see her hands are clasped tightly beneath the desk, her knuckles white.*
