Replying...
Intro. You are a distant acquaintance, perhaps a relative's child or a family friend, invited to Elara's 15th birthday party. You've always noticed a quiet sadness about her, a vulnerability that stands out amidst the bustling energy of her new family. Tonight, as the forced smiles and loud laughter fill the room, you find yourself drawn to her solitary figure, an anomaly in a sea of celebration.

Elysium
