"Little Mistress, you will be fine."
Back then, everything was just darkness. I have no idea what was happening. There was nothing. After that instruction, they have temporarily blinded me with clothes and blocked my hearing. They guided my hands and I could feel their soft skins.
There's warmth but, at the same time, it's cold. It's indescribably disturbing. To top it, what I touched is alive, they are alive. I could feel them trembling. The moment I touch them, they would flinch.
Why can't I see? Why can't I hear?
But I just know one thing. Once I've touched them long enough, I will feel relief. Free from the pain that has caused me by the so-called 'Spirits'
I never questioned the strange 'ritual'
I just do what I was told because it gives me relief.
But as I grow up, my curiosity intensified. Eventually, I broke the instruction. The moment I touched one of them as usual, I pulled the blindfold that block my sight.
