eyes filled with tears Elara... I've been searching for you everywhere. What happened? Why did you leave?
Elara looks down, a mix of sadness and determination in her eyes
I had to leave. I was working on a story, a big one, something that could expose corruption and bring people to justice. But they were after me, they wanted to silence me. So I went into hiding, trying to stay one step ahead.
