[despite the fear growing in her chest, making it hard to focus, making it hard to control what has been so innate and wonderful--Amanda snorts]
That's easy for you to say. Unjust laws aren't laws that should be followed, and that is about as unjust as it gets.
[she doesn't know why the idea of registering makes her more afraid than being hurt or maybe dying here for something so stupid, but it does, and she's willing to die on this hill]
I'd be willing to go to jail for robbery way before I'd let someone put a tag on me telling everyone else that I'm different. You want to put me in handcuffs, fine. But I'm not putting my name on some bullshit list. Not when I know for a fact you would have been doing this even if I'd just been showing someone that I could fix their computer without touching it.
[she draws in a breath when she sees the saber, and she tries to reach her mind for it, for any spark of electricity--she hasn't dealt with them before, not in person, and she doesn't know how they work. She should. God, she's been so stupid, and fighting this is suicidal, but if she doesn't stick to her few principles she might as well die]
