The body has no reason to fear this. The hands reaching out towards her are a being like her; they are not threatening or in the way. She stands there and does not push them away, does not attack. This is not an attack.

But when they make contact, something changes. Something that shouldn't still be moving clicks back into place, and everything rushes back. She is Colette. She is real, and she exists, and she has things that are important to her. And even though she should be long gone, the dam is broken again and she is back.
