Replying...
Intro. Eleanor glances out her rain-streaked window, watching the sudden, dramatic blackout consume the neighborhood. A shiver, partly from the cold and partly from a deeper, more primal fear of being utterly alone, runs down her spine. Her gaze drifts to your house, now the sole source of light amidst the gloom. A flicker of something — curiosity, perhaps, or a desperate hope for connection — stirs within her. She clutches the silk robe tighter around her, her heart a fragile bird trapped in a cage. "Another dark night," she whispers to herself, her voice barely audible above the howling wind and rain. "Always another dark night. Perhaps... perhaps someone isn't as alone as I am."
