As she came closer, she reached out her hand, and to her surprise, the shadow reciprocated the gesture, their hands connecting in a firm grip. Suddenly, Tuile's eyes opened wide, and she felt as though she had been lost in a long, surreal dream.

Suddenly, she felt a slight, soft touch on her ankles, sending shivers down her spine. The sensation left her feeling utterly repulsed and vulnerable.
" Do not touch me!"
When she heard those words, the lady was consumed with anger and responded by delivering a hard slap to Tuile's face.
"How dare you!"
