Impressive psychological adjustment skills.
Dean watched Selica quickly regain her composure, somewhat amazed at her ability to adapt and react.
Many adults, after all, didn't possess the mental fortitude of sixteen-year-old Selica; her initial reaction had simply been an unguarded, genuine response.
"I'm sorry for calling you over; it may have caused you some trouble, but this is to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible so that Teacher Toddy can rest in peace. So please, cooperate with our questioning," Dean said to Selica, offering a kind smile.
Unfortunately, the smile that had always worked its charm on women failed to affect sixteen-year-old Selica.
She glanced at Dean's handsome face, her tone blunt. "If you know you're sorry, then stop bothering people. Besides, I'm only sixteen. If you want to ask me anything, please call my guardian over!"
Quite a character.
She's really turned the tables!
