Maybe she’ll tumble over and crack her skull on the ground. It would serve her right. But instead, something halts the woman’s fall. The Big Sister stares uncomprehendingly as the woman freezes in midair, suspended still as if she were underwater. How was she doing that? Was it a plasmid?

Confusion quickly gives way to curiosity—though neither overshadows the malice the Big Sister feels as well. She reaches out again, this time aiming to latch onto the now-floating woman’s ankle. If she’s weightless, it’ll be that much easier to drag her into the Big Sister’s waiting grasp.]
