Well that's ... a lot to explain, and not a lot of it makes her look good, but she'll try.

"It's not so much consequences for things I haven't done as me trying to outrun consequences for things I have."

Oh where to begin.

"I ... there was this teacher, at my school. I thought I could trust him? But he started teaching me all these dark magic spells." She glances down to pick at her pancakes before looking up at him again. "Dark magic takes a toll on you, physically. It corrupts you. But he had this thing that would take the dark magic away so you'd feel normal again."

She hates having to explain this, over and over again to people who have only known her here, but it's something they need to be aware of, especially if the sand clock ever does break.

"Anyway, eventually I realized what I was doing was wrong and I wanted to stop but then my sister got possessed, and dark magic was the only way to save her without killing her. Then I realized that my friend had gotten erased for all our memories and I fixed that too. But ... it was a lot of dark magic and it all went into this sand clock. It wasn't designed to last forever, so eventually it's going to break."

And all that dark magic will fly back into her. When it does, she's heard she's done terrible, terrible things.
