Soph's not immune to large coins anymore. She has now ducked into Milliways briefly, which she could - "never do before" - and left without incident. And Bella says she's torchable. So supposedly she could do almost anything, now.
What she wants to do is this.
She finds Tony - ahahaha, she can teleport now, no spending a pentagon every time wincing when she remembers where they come from - and says:
"Let's go blow my weight in quarters on arcade games and finish that James Bond marathon?"
(She has other friends, who she knows better than Tony, but they don't know about stuff, she wants to keep it that way, and she's going to be in a bit of a mood about stuff for a while; better to put them off until she's got her equilibrium back.)

"Bella says I can decide whether to tell Mom and Dad that I'm only recently real. That's how she said it, 'only recently real'."

"I kinda don't think I will. Not soon anyway. My friends neither. I like having pockets of normalcy."

"Yeah, but, like, if you get pulled over or something right now what are you even going to do? Being dead seems like a hassle too."

Soph wants to play DDR first. She is really good at it. "After this you can beat me at something with cars in it," she says.
