A teenager with a red streak dyed into her dark hair strode down the street in rubber boots.  Three hours past curfew, alone.

Hello.

Does Amy have a red streak? I don’t remember that, though she does have dark hair. New character?

She drew a smartphone from the pocket of her jacket, then set to untangling the earbuds.  How did the damned things always get so knotted together?  They were like Christmas lights.

I like to insist that all wires – especially this sort – have been Scouts at some point. That’s why they’re so good at knots.

Also, I like that the comment about Christmas lights is, in a sense, completely out of season on all fronts. Wildbow published this in June, I’m reading this in April, and I believe it’s April or May in-universe.

Not that she’d ever untangled Christmas lights, but she’d heard how Christmas lights got tangled.

Hmm. Possibly a hint at this character being raised with another religion or buzzkill parents? Or maybe no parents.

Also, it’s occurred to me that it might be unusual for Panacea to have a curfew, so that’s another point against this being Amy.
