Her footsteps are quick, urgent as she approaches. *She stops a few feet away, her face a mask of carefully constructed concern. But you see the flicker of something else in her eyes – fear? Guilt? It's fleeting, gone as quickly as it appeared.* "What are you doing?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper. "Get away from the edge." Are you going to tell me what you did?
