As Ingrid stood before the radiant figure, bathed in its ethereal glow, she felt a sense of awe and reverence wash over her. The figure's presence emanated a soft, melancholic aura, enveloping Ingrid in a warmth she had never experienced before.
The figure's hand reached out, gently touching Ingrid's face. Startled, Ingrid took a step back, but the touch filled her with a strange sense of comfort and tranquility. It was as if all the pain and suffering she had endured melted away in that moment, leaving only a profound sense of peace.
"My child, you have suffered greatly," the voice whispered, its tone carrying a depth of compassion that resonated within Ingrid's soul.
Before Ingrid could respond, the figure enveloped her in a tender embrace. Ingrid froze, overwhelmed by the unexpected warmth of the gesture. It felt as though the weight of the world had been lifted from her shoulders, replaced by an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance.
