"I've been studying, though. For three months now! And tonight? Tonight I finally did it! I needed some light in the room and when I grabbed the candle, it just lit! And then, when I tried again and again, I figured out how to light it without thinking about needing the light and almost... telling the candle to light instead." A beat, which feels like a long pause compared to her fast paced rambling. "Does that make sense?"
