[ Maybe justice should not be delivered in the middle of a hallway.

It's that, and Steve also can't shake the fact that the kid seems scared and disoriented more than anything. Does that explain why she had been staring at someone in the shower? Not exactly, but he also doesn't know for sure what she'd actually seen before he showed up and she slammed the door closed.

With the way she hunches up, almost like she could fold into herself and disappear that way, Steve doesn't think that giving her a hard time for whatever she did or didn't see is the right call. She clearly doesn't belong here, which means she's recently Summoned. That sudden change of scenery is maybe something he was able to take in stride, but he wouldn't expect the same from a teenager.

She does at least get moving, and Steve falls into step with her. Her question causes him to quirk a quick smile as he shakes his head. ]


Neither. [ Though he can't blame her for assuming. ] I was brought here the same as you, a couple months back. When word went around that they'd summoned more people in, I decided to come check things out.

[ Now that they're walking along and in conversation, they have way less people looking their way, so hopefully that will help her nerves. ]
