[Cissie had given up her initial frantic efforts to find a door or window that would open, instead finding a spot against a wall to stand and survey the other people milling about in varying states of panic and shock. She's probably in shock herself, but it's easier not to think about it. Easier to just... take a break and do some people watching for a little while. She takes notice of Emily when she approaches, of course. She's almost kind of relieved, since Emily appears to be another fairly normal looking person, who might be even be close to her own age. She knows this doesn't mean much, in terms of how trustworthy or nice or what kind of a person she might be--she does go to an all girls' boarding school, after all. She knows exactly how two-faced girls can get.
But none of that matters, and when Emily speaks to her, Cissie gives her a wry smile in return.]
Tell me about it. It feels a little like an episode of The Twilight Zone.
