plane trick

She quickly focused inside the plane once more and found the tablet had vanished from
her lap. The young man who should have been sitting next to her had also vanished.
Instead, Academy City’s #5 girl was waving the Urban Processer around.
“How did you catch up to me? Is one of your pawns a teleporter esper?”
“You still haven’t figured it out?”
Immediately, everyone in the plane turned their heads to look at the old woman.
At first, she assumed Mental Out was controlling them all, but...
“No... That’s right. It makes no sense for you to be on the plane. It doesn’t even make
sense for me to be on the plane. After all...”
“Yeah, I slipped into that doll museum pretty late. The last flight would have long since
left and the airport itself would’ve been closed.”
“That’s why we decided to use a ground route instead. I was waiting for him to bring the
car around, so why am I on a plane? Why didn’t I question this!?”
“That’s what Mental Out will do to you.”
As soon as Shokuhou Misaki said that, everything in the plane, even the surface of the
coffee being carried by a flight attendant, froze in place.
No, it was not limited to the plane. The unnatural nightscape outside the window had
completely stopped moving.
The old woman realized she was trapped, but she had no way of knowing where she was
trapped.
