Bella goes about her business. Elves continue stalking her; she continues walking everywhere accompanied. Sometimes by Celo, sometimes by random people, sometimes by clusters of classmates. She does all her homework and maintains good grades in all her classes. She is now confirmed able to definitely move objects with her mind a tiny negligible bit, which means that if she works very hard for a very long time she may become able to move objects with her mind a less tiny and non-negligible bit.

"...sleep, getting homework done, hanging out with their friends, going out and doing stuff, any thing a human does can potentially compete here."
"Well, we do all that stuff too," says the elf. "We just don't let it keep us away from, you know, important things."
