Every head turned slowly toward Kelly. She was the only one left who hadn't shown anything. The air in the lab was heavy with expectation. Sparks still danced faintly around Dickson's hand. Ann's shadows writhed lazily near her feet like loyal pets. A subtle breeze stirred around Seo Yeon, brushing her hair despite the sealed underground room.
Kelly blinked, realizing everyone was staring at her. She lifted her hands awkwardly and gave a little shrug. "I don't… feel anything. Nothing's happening. It's like—I don't know—I know I have something, but it's out of reach. Like it's behind a locked door I can't open."
Her voice carried hints of frustration, not fear.
Liam tilted his head, confused at first. Then it clicked. He remembered the way the machine reacted, how everyone else's powers connected to natural forces in one way or another. His brow furrowed. "Maybe it's earth," he said quietly.
Kelly looked at him, half doubtful. "Earth? You mean like… rocks and stuff?"
