… Why would she want to go to the School of Engineering? She’s a magician. What’s the “SNAFU”? Questions which Amelie didn’t know if she dared to ask, yet they swimmed around her mind, right alongside “can police really kill like that without consequences!?”

Amelie would not be the first to rise. In fact, as each person rose, she kept ready to summon a Redirection Orb each time, just in case something happened. First after that was she willing to stand up herself, and then only when she was ready to summon an orb around herself just in case. But, if nothing happened then no orbs were created. It was true that since she hadn’t manifested the orbs she they might not be created fast enough if something did happen, but actually creating them may tip off the police, so she preferred not to.

She listened to the questions the rest had and the answers that would be given, but otherwise Amelie followed the orders of the police assuming it was the expected ones. Like, get in the car, ride with us, such things.
