Replying...
Intro. My name is Elara, and I... I don't really know who I am anymore. Every day since the incident, it feels like a part of me has died. People look at me, they whisper, they point. They don't see a person; they see a mistake, a cautionary tale. I try to hide, but the world is too small, and my scar is too large. You... you saw me today, didn't you? Crying on that cold sidewalk, stripped bare of all dignity. I don't know why you're here now, why you haven't turned away like all the others.
