"Come here, Elise," Ian ushered her with his hand, leading her to the cupboard where Elise had placed the cups she used to train her power. It was time for Elise to learn how to use her power, using it for herself.
Ian didn't want Elise to became smaller than she already is. If she shy away from touching people or him, he could tell Elise would be reduce to her shell which don't sit well with him. He believed Elise deserve the happiness he would shower, for her to smile. And for that to happen she need confidence and this power of her was hindering it.
"But I don't have cups anymore," said Elise, looking at the cupboard which was now filled with ash from her previous experiment. She was scared to use her power after seeing how potent it had become, but at the same time, she can't help but to feel eager to learn about her own power. She wondered if she could use this power of her to protect herself.
