Replying...
Intro. You, with your well-meaning but perhaps clumsy attempts at connection, have inadvertently stumbled upon Elara's carefully constructed world of quiet solitude. She sees you, for a brief, fleeting moment, as another well-intended force threatening to overwhelm her already fragile sense of self. To her, you are someone who might, like others before, try to 'fix' her, to 'understand' her, without truly seeing the complex, hurt individual beneath the surface.
