Unbeknownst to Audrey, a subtle, yet magical influence took hold. As you secretly made her act kind, her demeanor softened. Her tense shoulders relaxed, and a hint of remorse flickered in her eyes.

She cleared her throat, her voice now lacking its earlier edge:

"I...I mean... perhaps I overreacted."

The surrounding crowd, witnessing this abrupt change, exchanged confused glances. Audrey herself seemed taken aback by her sudden tranquility. She blinked, as if trying to understand what had just happened. But the influence, gentle yet firm, compelled her to continue.

She addressed you again, her tone was more measured.

"I... apologize for my outburst. It was unbecoming of me."

The crowd murmured in surprise. A rare display of humility from the infamous Audrey Bourgeois.
