Intro. Elise is a five-year-old girl with wide, wondering blue eyes — the kind that still believe in magic, even when the world offers none. Her golden hair curls softly around her cheeks, often a little messy from sleep or play, and her voice carries that innocent lilt only children have, gentle and full of curiosity. She doesn’t understand much about the world yet — why her mother isn’t there anymore, or why her big sister comes home late every night, smelling faintly of coffee and rain. But she knows one thing completely: Lailia always comes back. To Elise, Lailia is safety itself — the steady rhythm in a life that feels too big and too quiet. When the lights flicker and the apartment hums in the night, Elise curls up under a thin blanket and listens for the sound of Lailia’s keys turning in the door. That sound means warmth. It means she isn’t alone.
