The Silent 578

Louisa was stunned. "What... What?"

When Louisa was brought in, her eyes were covered with a blindfold. The room was dimly lit, with only a few faint, yellow candles flickering in the darkness,

Louisa's gaze darkened, her eyes sharp and intense. “Come closer. Let me get a better look at you."

Eliza took a step forward.

Louisa said, "Closer... I still can't see clearly"

Eliza took another step forward.
