~Lisa's POV
"We should start… immediately," I said, voice trembling with excitement and impatience.
She rolled her eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Lisa… you're impossible," she muttered, shaking her head. "We can't just jump in. We need to put some things in place first. Safety measures. Precautions. You can't just throw yourself into this and hope it works."
I frowned, a little deflated, but curiosity and eagerness kept me from complaining. I watched as she moved across the room with precision, pulling small, strange objects from a cabinet and placing them carefully on the floor. Her hands moved deftly, unhurried but purposeful, arranging candles in a perfect circle around the mat in the middle of the room. Each candle was lit carefully, the flames glowing and casting dancing shadows across the walls.
When she was done, she stepped back and gestured toward the middle of the circle. "Lie down," she instructed, her tone firm but gentle.
