Whether it was a good idea or not, Jon wasn't sure. But he was glad it happened. The girl, who had just watched her mother get turned into a Goth, charged at Karyn and pulled the device away from her.
"No!" her mother said, but not because she feared for her daughter's safety. It was because she started to align herself with Zoe and Karyn. She started to think and act more like them.
The mother dashed over to Karyn and caught her before she hit the floor. Her daughter turned around, looking at her mother with shocked eyes. "Mom? What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" she said, sounding angry. "What are you doing? Can't you see that this is right?" she asked, meaning what Zoe and Karyn were trying to do.
"What happened to you?" she asked her mom.
Jon walked over to the girl. "She's been turned into a Goth, like them." He took the device from the girl and scrolled through the list on display screen until he came to the word REVERSE, then he tapped it. "But it's okay. Because I can reverse it."
He aimed the device at the girl's mother.
