Before passing out again she asks tattletale to do something about the music she is hearing this is worrisome to Lisa and Brian who fear she was a worse concussion then they thought. Lisa is surprised that Taylor is right about the music after she sees the person fitting Taylor's description listening to an Ipod.

Trivia

• Taylor is able to sense music through a moth when she is being treated. This is a heads-up for later in the story when she is able to listen to whole conversations through her insects.
  • Taylor likely has some form of nervous system damage because of Bakuda's bomb that impacts her for the rest of the story.^{[citation needed]}
  • Also shows that powers can change due to injuries to the Parahuman.
• Given the different ways technology developed on Bet and Aleph it is unknown if the Ipod mentioned is actually an Ipod or something roughly similar.
