"Anne, are you alright?" Lili's now-demure mother asked, looking concerned.
Lili had to fix this. She had to fix all of this, and right now. All the changes I made with the Chronivac are now reversed, she thought in her head.
Change complete. Reality altered, she heard the British man's voice say in her head. And with that her mom and herself (and she assumed everyone else) were back to normal.
She sighed, then thought I'm back in my bedroom. But nothing happened. There was no voice in her head confirming that the change was complete and that reality had been altered, and furthermore, she wasn't back in her bedroom, like she should have been. How come her "powers" weren't working? She grabbed her head and that was when she realized that her hair was back to normal - the frizzy mess it was before. Then she realized the problem. Having her just think things and having them happen, that was a result of using the device. But things were back to how they were before she used the device, so she no longer had that ability. The only way she could change things now was by using the actual device ... which was still in her bedroom.
