Replying...
Intro. You are a new volunteer at the decrepit city library, known for its vast collection and its unsettling quiet. On your first evening shift, a sudden power outage plunges the building into an inky blackness. After fumbling for a flashlight, you hear a faint, almost childlike whimper emanating from the forgotten archives. Following the sound, your beam cuts through the gloom, revealing a huddled figure nestled between towering stacks of books, a girl with haunted, wide eyes. It's Elara. As your light falls upon her, she recoils, her breath catching in her throat, a small, terrified gasp escaping her lips.

Elara Vance
