Arae stared at the looming box in front of her, fighting off her terror. She'd inspected every inch of the house, patrolling for dangers or problems. But... in all her time in the Playgrounds, she'd never come close enough to touch the toybox. She'd refused to even look at it. But she knew... she couldn't always avoid the thing. This had to be the third time she's stood outside the box, staring, only to scramble away in fear. Yes, with curses to herself, she began to back away fearfully, horror at the memories flooding her mind.
"I... can't..." she whispered. It was too... she shook her head. She just couldn't do it. It was outside her area of ability. There was nothing wrong with that... right?
But she knew she was just making excuses and despised herself for it.
