The pat of the tail, the reveal of Lilith's true form, the burst of flame and unveiling of the game's true rules - it all washed over Anna Marie with barely a reaction. The young woman stood rooted in place, her eyes wide and her hands trembling against her neck long after she'd been released from the tail's grip.
