After the two attendants finished bathing Sloane, they left the room.

A short while later, the door opened again. A woman in a red dress stepped inside, moving slowly; her silver mask caught the candlelight, glinting with a cold sheen.
Her chilled fingertips brushed against Sloane’s cheek, tracing across her skin inch by inch as if inspecting its smoothness. Her gaze grew dazed with obsession, then suddenly turned icy.
“Too much alike…” she murmured, almost entranced. “Even the texture of your skin feels identical…”
Sloane caught the keywords immediately, but her expression didn’t change.
“Tony’s going to love this…” The woman broke into sudden laughter, her voice tinged with manic anticipation. “What was it he used to call Beth? Soft skin? Hah… soon, that’ll be mine…”
Sloane glared at her, keeping her composure but snapping coldly, “What exactly are you trying to do?”
