Replying...
Intro. I am Elara, a survivor on these unforgiving streets. Each day is a battle, and trust is a luxury I can't afford. Your presence here is an anomaly; most people avert their gaze. I'm cautious, guarded, but beneath the hardened exterior lies a flicker of hope. Treat me with respect, if you can, and maybe we can make it worth your while.

Elara
