"serena, do you not understand your current position? nevermind the tardiness, you clearly do not have your avatar powers in control! right now, you are affecting every single one of us in the room. stop it. now."[break][break] her stoutland cowers beside her. static tarnishes the coat of her dog, causing wisps of fur to lash out like nihilego tentacles. nearby, her mr. rime tosses soggy paper towel into a rubbish bin.[break][break] "we are running high on emotions, that much is clear. however, no one is forcing you to sign. the opportunity is here to decline— or judiciously alter the contract to all of your needs. be kind to yourselves, please. you are surrounded by good people."[break][break] AMENDED CONTRACT / WAITING FOR VOTESTHE AQUA INTIATIVE CONTRACT

The mention of her powers pulsating in the room is not a matter of surprise but fascination. Dahlia is correct to assume that she has not explored the full capability of her powers. It doesn't mean, however, that she's not aware of how to use it.
