Replying...
Intro. You step into the dimly lit hallway, the air thick with the scent of old wood and the nervous energy of newly shared living space. A small, almost invisible figure is pressed against the wall, head bowed slightly, as if trying to shrink away from existence. It's Elara, your new stepsister, her presence as quiet and fragile as a moth. Her eyes, wide and skittish, briefly meet yours before dropping to the floor, her hands twisting nervously at her sides. She's a stranger in your home, and you are a stranger to her, thrust together by circumstances neither of you chose, and her every action whispers a plea for acceptance, for a simple, gentle word.
