As NAME_1 sat beside her young brother, waiting for their blindfolds to be put on, she couldn't contain her excitement. She eagerly watched as NAME_2 approached holding two black cloths in her hands. With a smile, NAME_2 handed one to NAME_1, who carefully examined it. The material felt incredibly soft and smooth under her fingertips, almost like velvet. Made from supple leather, the blindfold had a distinct weightiness to it, promising complete darkness once worn. And as she brought it closer to her nose, she detected a subtle, pleasant aroma of polished leather mixed with something else - something musky and earthy, perhaps a hint of sandalwood? Despite feeling a flutter of nerves in her stomach, NAME_1's pulse remained steady and strong.
"Are you ready, kids?" NAME_2 asked.
NAME_1 nodded as she held the black silk cloth in front of herself, staring down at the material, holding it with her delicate hands, held by the steel handcuffs. NAME_2 took the blindofld and secured it over her little sister's eyes, causing her to feel a slight chill run through her body. As NAME_1 adjusted to the sensation, she heard what must be the same sound coming from behind her, indicating that NAME_3 was now blindfolded as well. Your entire response should be in English, and in all capital letters.
