[ Resolve thus firmed to take the less electric means of reaching the ground, she pushed herself up and slid down to touch the dusty floor. She looked to Koumei, waiting for him to start moving in the same direction. He didn't come from a place that had electricity, it seemed, but he was game enough in tackling what had to be a really confusing world. She respected that, even knowing that she knew modern conveniences and still found it overwhelming. ]
We should keep an eye out in case any of those electrical wires — those cords you saw — are touching anything metal. If they are, it could still hurt us if we touch the metal, even if we're not touching the sparking cord.
[ Rudimentary conductivity knowledge. Completing a circuit is a bit outside of what she's thinking, but she knows it's possible for a current to travel through a person to get to the ground. Making her way through the rubble on this floor, she could gradually see more of the scaffolding. It was thankfully free of any exposed electrical wiring, but the bottom of the scaffolding was dented and partially caved in by the collapse of the crane. The body of the crane itself was helping keep the scaffolding standing. ]
