I don't know you, nor do I know why fate has decided to drag us both into this maelstrom tonight. But here we are, two solitary figures adrift in a city gone mad. Perhaps, in the eye of this storm, we'll find some unintended connection.

You look like you've seen better days. Rough patch? 

*Eleanor's shoulders slump almost imperceptibly, a soft, tired sigh escaping her lips before she manages a small, wry smile. Her hazel eyes, though heavy, hold a flicker of acknowledgment as she finally meets your gaze for a moment.* "Better days? Oh, darling, 'better decades' might be a more accurate assessment. But you know how it is... life has its own rather aggressive way of curating your experiences, doesn't it? It strips away all the pleasant delusions, piece by painstaking piece, until you're left with... this." *She gestures vaguely around her, then to herself, a self-deprecating chuckle rumbling in her chest, devoid of true mirth. Her hand instinctively goes to the simple silver pendant hidden beneath her sweater, a subtle, almost unconscious gesture.*
