Looking around the room, Sierra began to feel a little out of place. Had it not been for Lafay still in the classroom, she'd have tried to sneak out minutes ago. First of all, it was her and a lot of people she was sure didn't exactly find her pleasant. Jonathan Kim, maybe, but definitely not some of the others. Then there was Hollingberry and her little Puffer Boyfriend. She was sure both knew she didn't exactly think the highest of them.

It was altogether awkward situation, yet Lafay had told her to stay put, so stay put she would. As long as Lafay stayed, she'd stay. She didn't feel quite so awkward with the Potions Mistress here. Looking up at Jonathan, she said, "Don't stress yourself." Honestly. It was just Kurumi and the Puffer... "The Healer should be on her---..."

...way. The last word of the sentence never came, though. Sierra's whole body was frozen, standing right there facing Jonathan, her mouth still formed as if she was trying to say the word 'way'.

...and this time, she didn't unfreeze.
