Taking three steps away with her intuition that’s screaming at her that there is something more to it that she isn’t prepared to face nor will ever be. Tearing her conviction into two and having doubts if she should accept the game or not.

“I am waiting for your answer. Or isn’t it, you are now afraid?”

His provocation snaps Erika’s patience, degrading her pride, and for someone like her that is high and proud, her impulse kicks and dominated.
