For the next ten minutes, the private tea room is filled with Alana's screams. They rise and fall unpredictably as the illusion changes around her, sometimes becoming frantic pleas and sometimes breaking into hoarse cries when whatever she's experiencing becomes too overwhelming for her to process. No one in the room dares to interrupt Sienna-Rose, and even the people who have witnessed her magic before keep their attention lowered.
Eleanora remains seated with her hands folded around her teacup, although she has stopped drinking. Silas stands several steps away, his expression unusually serious as he watches the magical fluctuations around Alana. Olivia and Claire remain close together, while Sophia and Haley stay beside Sienna-Rose, neither of them looking particularly eager to interfere with what they had personally approved.
