Later

Zoey didn't even know how to feel. It was as though the emotions kept coming one by one. First, there was sadness because she would miss Atticus, followed by jealousy that he would be leaving the academy and not her, and then finally anger—angry at the fact that she was feeling jealous in the first place.

Zoey's hands clenched hard by her sides. The initially ranting of Lumindra came to an abrupt stop, simply observing as Zoey went through all these emotions.

She could feel everything Zoey was feeling; she didn't even need to hear her thoughts to understand her. But regardless, Lumindra didn't utter a word. These were all natural feelings that one had to overcome on their own. Zoey was human, after all.

Atticus could see every single one of her movements, no matter how subtle. 'She's angry?' He could tell that she was angry about something but didn't know exactly what it was.
