"You know, I actually have seen someone have an epileptic seizure before and it's quite frightening, not that Zoey would have the decency to understand. It was in high school and I had my back turned talking to someone in the corridor. A moment later, I hear a thud hit the ground, and I thought it was someone dropping their bag. We turn around and there's a girl convulsing on the floor. Lucky the teachers arrived just as it happened"
I know what you mean. I saw a guy have one when I was on the subway. He just was sitting there and then he suddenly gave a muffled scream and began flailing his arms around. Fortunately, one of the passengers knew how to help someone who had seizures so she and a few other people got his glasses off and held him still and calmed him down. It really was scary.
This all happened during free time I think, and it was on the way to the stables, so it wasn't near any of the buildings or dorms or anything. I think Aphrodite had kind of hidden herself away. That's why Zoey's assumption that it was for attention was stupid. There was no one around to see it.
