It was as if the piercing sound of an alarm, akin to the shrill cry of insects, instantly reverberated throughout the entire building.
The wooden floors and stairs became animated in succession, and the patrolling tree people were swiftly transported to Lady Grey Moon's room as if they were on a conveyor belt.
Renee snapped out of her momentary daze almost instantly.
"You will regret this," she said.
She looked at Lady Grey Moon with disappointment, then leapt out of the window.
Lady Grey Moon did not try to stop her but watched as she did so.
In mid-air, Renee suddenly donned a layer of silvery light armor, and then a rift in space tore open in front of her, into which she was sucked in.
"Are you alright?"
The security personnel arrived in haste.
Lady Grey Moon shook her head and pointed toward the window.
"She escaped from here."
"As long as you're okay..."
