Angela swallowed hard as he began speaking. Her heartbeat quickened, and it felt like the weight of all her problems was crashing down on her at once. She pushed herself up from her seat, determined to leave the hall before Kaito made the announcement. If everyone was going to find out, she didn't want to be here to watch it happen.
She started toward the door, but a sharp pain shot through her head, making her hold it with both hands. Her vision blurred, her legs felt weak, and just as she reached for the nearest pillar to steady herself, everything went dark.

Angela opened her eyes and found herself still in the cafeteria. The hall was quiet now. All the students were gone, leaving only her friends and Renn. They must have been worried sick.
"How do you feel?" Renn asked as soon as he saw her awake.
