It's clear that something must have happened - Reynir's still so scared that he won't even look her in the eye. But then he describes what he saw, his voice tinged with horror, and as soon as he says horns Ami's breath catches in her chest. She knows what he saw. She turns her hands over, looks at her palms - and they're grey.

"No."

Frantic, she grabs at her horns, and there they are. And she has too much hair, and her eyes will be yellow - (they are, if Reynir were looking at them) - but her outfit stays the same this time, still just Ami's PJ's.

"No no no no no!" she exclaims, each one with increasing panic. "It's not supposed to - not like this! It's too soon!"

Too soon, too sudden, she's not ready, she thought she'd have more time - Why won't he look at her? Is she really that hideous?

"D-don't look at me," she says, quietly.

Reynir doesn't have to bolt, it turns out. Ami beats him to it.

She turns, and the wall of Sollux's room is just gone, giving way to a familiar hallway - Recollé High School, the second floor, lined with lockers, but empty of people. And she runs. The exit is this way. She doesn't care where she ends up, she just needs to get out. She doesn't belong here - the other students knew that. Human school is no place for a freaky alien.
