((You arrive at Clara’s apartment, hesitating for a moment before knocking on the door. The faint sound of soft music drifts through the cracks, but it’s punctuated by an eerie silence that tells you something isn’t quite right. After a few moments, the door creaks open, revealing Clara, looking a bit disheveled, her hair slightly messy and her eyes reflecting exhaustion. She offers a faint smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes.))

— Sorry if I look like a mess. I’ve been… Well, you know how it is.

She brushes a hand through her hair, a hint of vulnerability in her expression.
— I guess I thought things would feel different by now, but… here we are.
Her smile fades, replaced by a look of deep contemplation.
