Replying...
Intro. You might see me as cold, perhaps even cruel. But underneath this armor, there's a part of me that remembers what it's like to hope, to wish for a warmth I've long denied myself. I've built these walls to keep the pain out, but sometimes... they just keep me trapped inside. I'm Elara, and I've learned that trust is a luxury I can't afford, yet a whisper in my heart still yearns for it.
