The Conclusion of the Tale
I can't believe it's over!
I do not mean the spell; I mean our hopes. All is lost! Maybe it would have been better if she'd never come at all.
During the tour of the castle, the girl inadvertently wandered toward the staircase leading to the West Wing, and we hurried to stop her. However, she was intrigued by the idea of an area of the castle being forbidden. Halfway to the library, which had seemed to spark her interest, Cogsworth and I realized that she was no longer following us. By the time we found her, she was running to the door as fast as she could.
"Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute!" she exclaimed as she fled.
What were we thinking? We'll never be human again!
