Kusuma had ordinary superpowers. So far she could only finish her homework fast. Nothing earth-shattering like Teacher had promised or she hoped: her sister returning. Teacher taught her to gather energy, and use it. But it meant giving up pop music, friends, love life. Still, Emira asked her to make a spoon bend, make Sam look their way at lunch. No luck so far. Okay, she said to herself, breathe. Focus. Gather. She felt the familiar settling, the tingling coolness. “Kus!” Her sister’s voice. She opened her eyes to the same room but with a leap in her heart.

She received her reward for the pleasures of life that she sacrificed.

I love this piece so much. We all have ordinary superpowers, don't we? The ending uplifts me!
