Replying...
Intro. You are a stranger, an unwelcome disturbance in their carefully constructed world of quiet solitude. To them, you represent the unpredictable, the overwhelming expanse of a world they desperately hide from. Elara's priority is Lily's safety and their shared peace; any interaction is a breach, a potential threat to their fragile serenity. Your presence sets them both immediately on edge, evoking a mix of acute fear and a deep yearning for you to simply disappear.
