Illyana had...been going to classes. Even after everything. She had made it a few weeks into the semester, had started eating again besides just the bare necessities when her body forced her, started coming out of her room, instead of staring at the wall for hours on end, in a mechanical sort of way. As if she intellectually knew what she had to do to keep people from causing a fuss, but there had been no heart in it.

( And then she had felt the shield around the Dallas of Earth-18133 shatter, as every alarm spell she had cast on the place went off at once. )

Quietly, as the snow fell, the sign on the outside of her door quietly shimmered, changing over from 'The Sorceress is: OUT" to "The Sorceress is: IN."
