The Weird Bride stayed in the shadows beneath the villa's eaves.
Although no normal Weird would stay there-after all, as the saying went, a wise man did not stand beneath a crumbling wall.
Still, there was nothing inherently wrong with a Weird staying beneath the eaves, just a hair's breadth from the sunlight.
There was no need to worry about exposing her ability to walk in sunlight, either.
