Elle stopped and turned around, moving closer to the boy. "What's with the scars?" she asked with almost childlike curiosity, holding a ball of electricity up to his forehead to see better. They weren't scars, after all. They were just... circles. Weird.

Not waiting for an answer, Elle whirled around and started walking again. The buildings were coming closer, and her eyes tried to pierce the darkness, looking for signs of life. They were still too far away to tell for sure, but the place looked kinda... wrecked.
