When Ella Howard tripped, Lyra Smith grabbed her, and they both fell together, with Lyra carrying a backpack.
Israel Walker immediately went over to help Ella. Ada was going to help Lyra, but Lyra stood up by herself: "I'm fine."
Seeing that she was all right, except for a dirty spot on her pants, Ada assumed she was truly fine and comforted Lyra with a few words before going to help Ella.
Lyra wanted to step back and check if she had scraped her knee since it was stinging with pain.
During the fall, she didn't know what Ella had hit, but Lyra's knee had struck a patch of moss.
She had scraped off a clear patch of moss in the process.
Only Erwin Jackson saw it.
Erwin came over and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
Lyra shook her head, intending to say it was fine.
Before she could say anything, Erwin squatted down beside her. Lyra instinctively moved back, but Erwin held her leg firmly: "Don't move."
She stayed still.
Erwin slowly rolled up her pant leg.
