After seeing Malene off, Laz went back inside to finish his shift. Although he had to listen to a few remarks from both Grandpa and Uncle Chu, he didn't mind. His thoughts were a bit of a mess however.
He didn't know this girl and he didn't have a connection to her, minus being different, so he didn't know why she would be hostile towards him. Although he thought she was rather attractive, he wasn't dumb enough to think it could be love at first sight, or hatred for that matter. The only thought he could put together was that she didn't want anything to do with others like them.
He figured that she probably had a story behind it. The powers seemed to have developed at somewhat different times for different people, so he didn't know when she got hers. Since she came from a big city, he could only guess that there were many more people who started turning weird.
