inside the room, ellie sat confidently behind an ornate office table.the sunlight streaming through the window behind her cast a golden hue on the bookshelf filled with neatly arranged volumes.

vincent and valyn occupied a sleek leather couch, separated by a polished mahogany table that reflected the room's soft lighting.

"so, why are you here?" ellie asked, her voice even but tinged with curiosity as her eyes flicked toward valyn.
