amber shivered, but she wasn't cold. the department shooed away the crowd gathering, and she never saw the girl play on the streets again.

amber played with her short pink hair while she petted her cat, round glasses took up her face, her eyes were bright, even though she was on house arrest.
the day before she had tried to help someone up, and ended up getting ice in her face. it wasn't her fault, but she was a government official, they couldn't erase her memories of the touched that attacked her, or at least that's what the council said.
now she was stuck in her small apartment. alone.
