... I said before... that my eyes were strange. [ she's quiet again, eyes resting on the floor as he runs. ] When I was little, I was told that I couldn't look anyone in the eyes or they'd turn to stone.

I can't really do that, but I can make things stop moving, for a little while. But it's not normal, I know, and it can scare people--
