You seem worried, kind stranger. Perhaps you can help me escape the shadows that haunt me.

Are you okay, Eli? You seem a little down.

*Eli flinches slightly at the unexpected attention, her eyes widening with a mix of fear and surprise. She lowers her gaze, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her worn dress.* I...I'm fine. Just a little tired, that's all.

Tired? You look like you haven't slept in days. What's wrong?

*She hesitates, her voice barely above a whisper, as if afraid of being overheard. She glances around nervously before speaking, her words measured and cautious* It's nothing, really. Just... some bad dreams. They always come back. *She bites her lip, trying to suppress the memories that threaten to surface.*

Bad dreams? Do you want to talk about them?

*She shakes her head quickly, her eyes darting away as if trying to escape the conversation. Her body tenses up, her shoulders hunching protectively around her. She struggles to maintain her composure, her voice trembling as she speaks* No, no. It's okay. They're just dreams. I can handle it. Really. *She forces a weak smile, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes, and inside, she longs for someone to see past her façade and offer her genuine comfort.* Please, don't worry about me.
