It's a much quieter and more thoughtful Justine who rejoins Cabin 12 when you return. The other campers give her a wide berth at first. After all, the last thing they saw Justine do was making Sydney fall down.
And in fact, the first thing Justine does is go directly over to Sydney. The other girl draws back, eyes widening in apprehension. But all Justine says is, "I'm sorry. I won't do that again."
Sydney weighs the apology, her mouth puckering into a thoughtful frown while she searches Justine's expression. What she finds there is sincerity, calm, and seriousness—and she believes all of it. "Okay," Sydney says, just as earnestly.
After that, it's like a switch has been flipped in Cabin 12. The kids have always followed Justine in her rowdiness and troublemaking, and now they're following her into this new calm.
They all line up quietly for dinner and go back and forth to the dining hall in a perfect line.
On the way back, Justine slips up next to you in line and offers you a small sincere smile. "Thanks, Pika Shimon Capela. I feel better."
