Kathy could hear her own heart racing in her ears. [i]‘What was that? A student? An outsider?’[/i] It seemed that his target was the white-haired boy that hit Dani, but the demon didn’t seem to have any qualms about knocking innocent people around in the process. Having completely blended in with the other running students, she looked around the crowd for other familiar faces. Her heart sank when she couldn’t find them. There were too many people running around, and she wasn’t very tall. But that also meant they were no longer in sight of Dani’s attacker.

Hesitating, she looked at the purple-haired boy. “... I think you’ll be fine now, just stay down and blend in with the crowd. I need to go find someone.” Letting go of his arm (likely bruised from her grip), she ran back towards where the fight had started. Unfortunately, it became increasing obvious that she was not going to reach it. There were too many students running [i]away[/i] from there, and she was trying to fight the direction the crowd was going.

Biting her lips, she tried to think. [i]‘How can I find anyone through this mess?’[/i] After a moment of scanning blindly through the crowd again, an idea hit her. [i]‘Higher ground..! I just need a better view!’[/i] Going to the nearest wall, she placed one foot on the surface, feeling her entire weight shift to the wall. Luckily her ability re-directed her own gravity instead of merely letting her stick to the wall, otherwise she would’ve had to worry about her dress shifting around in indecent ways.

Walking diagonally up the wall, she kept her eyes trained below as she shouted, “Crash! Where are you?!” Almost reaching the ceiling, she found the familiar mop of red hair. Crushing fancy decorations on the way, she quickly ran along the wall towards where Zivon and Crash were. Jumping back down to the ground, she breathed out, “Are you two okay?” One look at Crash face told her he wasn’t fine at all. Too worried to be embarrassed, Kathy knelt down in front of him and took his face in her shaking hands. “Crash? What’s wrong?”
