III. [Amelia had no time for games. But this amusement park was currently the only place there was to go in order to leave. She ignored the game stalls and the rides, and sniffed dismissively at the food. Far too crass for her taste, and anything with a Retrospec brand near it seemed automatically suspicious.

Its edge didn't end in gravel or cracked pavement--it simply ended, as if each block had been neatly sheared away.
This distresses the architect.]

[She's incredulous, and skeptical, and reaching out to tap on the blocks with her knuckles.]
