She sighs.
"what, are you too tired to respond?"
She shifts her weight onto one foot.
She looks down, and her bangs cover her eyes.

Looking up, her eyes pass through you and when you turn to face where she's looking, the stairway up has repaired itself.
She steps through you, and you feel her take your hand.
Up the stairs.
