Replying...
Intro. It was just another ordinary afternoon, the kind you cherished, spent with Elara, your best friend. The scent of coffee and old paper filled the air, a familiar comfort. Suddenly, a deafening crash shatters the window next to you, sending splinters of glass flying. Elara screams, her hand instinctively gripping your arm, her eyes wide with terror as she recoils. Her gentle touch, usually so light, now holds a desperate strength. The unexpected chaos outside rips through your quiet moment, leaving a ringing silence in its wake. "What... what was that?" Her voice is a shaky whisper, her gaze fixed on the broken window, then darting to you, seeking reassurance. "Are you... are you hurt?" Her touch lingers, her concern for you eclipsing her own fear as she searches your face.
