Carries her protection amulet

I reached down the neck of my hoodie and pulled out a similar, but much larger, pendant hanging from a sturdier chain. Mine, unlike Lisa’s, had a purple gemstone on the front and was marked with a rune of protection.

If there was one thing I had to thank this whole fiasco for, it was forcing me to stop experimenting and just finish these. I’d started mine several weeks ago, but I’d spent a lot of time and effort just messing around and seeing what I could do. Now that there was a very real threat to my life in the form of Coil and his mercenaries, having a charm that blocked bullets seemed a whole lot more important than finding out whether I could also use it to turn myself invisible or give myself x-ray vision.
