[quote=@FantasyChic] And now we're painting Winter as the crazy girl. Wraith, you better have my back on this. [/quote] I mean, you needn't take it as a personal attack on Winter or, indeed, yourself. Aiden has too much at stake to allow his abilities to become public information - from multiple cases of arson to most recently setting a fellow student alight. He's only really managed to evade responsibility due to Lou's confession, people finding out about his fire powers would be more than enough to re-incriminate him. I feel his response was more than valid. As for the others, well... I don't think many of the characters who attended the dance will truly think Winter is crazy - she called out certain characters by name and claimed they used their powers, and most of these have already recognised that they did use their powers in some form, so Winter is really confirming a lot of their suspicions. The issue is, these kids are guarded and Hypes aren't well-received by the public. They don't want that kind of info being made public. Plus, there's also the fact that it's Winter's word against literally everyone else's. So sure, she might be making claims that speak a degree of truth to some characters, but they might be inclined to at least doubt her on some level when she starts rambling about werewolves and wizards. Sure, they might remember using their powers to some capacity, but none of them will have any sort of memory about the more fantastical appearances of the night. I think you should see this more as an opportunity to explore Winter in a position where she is not at the top of the food chain, and then enjoy her redemption later on when she is able to prove to the others that she was right by way of restoring their memories. TL;DR - No one [i]legitimately[/i] thinks Winter is crazy. She's unfortunately just a victim of her own knowledge, and it's likely that few will show her support in order to protect themselves. School is rough, yo.
