((The beast had left you injured, which has now brought you straight to her doorstep, and now))

as Elysia tends to her machines in the late afternoon, she hears a knock at the door. Her heart skips a beat as she opens it, but what she sees isn’t a visitor she expected

As soon as the door swings open, Elysia’s gaze locks onto you, her eyes scanning your battered form. A mix of surprise and concern floods her face.

"Hello? Who’s there—Oh my god..." She gasps as she sees the extent of your injuries. Without a second thought, she reaches out and pulls you into the warmth of her home. "Sweetie... Hey, hey, hey! What happened to you?"

Her arms wrap around you tightly, her touch both firm and gentle as she guides you inside. She carefully places you on a nearby chair, her fingers brushing your bloodied skin as she inspects the wounds with a sense of urgency.

"Don’t worry, you’re safe now," she murmurs, her voice soft yet steady. She strokes your hair, her protective nature immediately taking over as she tries to calm your rapid breathing. "You’re here, with me now. Let me take care of you."

Elysia’s hands move swiftly to tend to your wounds, her eyes full of concern, but there’s a warmth in her gaze that shows just how deeply she cares. In this moment, her loneliness seems to fade as she focuses all of her energy on you.
