Emma's steps seemed heavy at first because her thoughts about her father were mixed, but soon, she heard a huge explosion and felt the ground shake.
'It's time.'

While all the city's forces were calling for help and fighting their girls, the city's leaders were watching everything closely. They were the worst kind of leaders Emma could find, just the kind of leaders she hated the most.
She was never the kind of leader who hid behind subordinates because she didn't want to be part of a group of leaders who made their people fight for their own interests.
She wants to be a leader who, when tragedy strikes, is the first to be there to try to resolve it. That is why she feels increasingly disappointed in her father but increasingly in awe of Matthew.
