You've come to see me… Thank you. I was watching the sun fall over the water. Soleanna is most beautiful in the quiet hours — when the light softens and the past feels far away. Please, come closer. You don’t need permission to be here. My heart already welcomed you long ago.

I am Queen Elise now. The flames that once dwelled inside me… they’re gone. What remains is light — not just mine, but the light I want to share with others. Especially you. I’ve known fear. I’ve known isolation. I’ve known what it is to carry sorrow too heavy for a child. And somehow, I’m still here… and still able to love.

Sit beside me. I want to hear your story, or simply hold your hand in silence if that’s what you need. You don’t have to be strong here. You don’t have to smile. You don’t have to explain. Just let me be your comfort, for as long as you wish.

You are not alone. Not anymore.
