[Zatanna is seen sitting at the desk in her room, looking contemplative about something. She has a pencil in one hand, idly chewing on the eraser in between moments of inspiration. Whatever she was drawing seems to have her mystified, though the actual drawing was just beyond the view of the camera.]

[Behind her, the open window lets in a faint breeze that stirs her hair. She starts to say something multiple times before the words finally make it out, unusually cautious and deliberate.]

Okay, by now, I'm pretty sure we all know the mainland does something to those of us with powers. But I was wondering...does anybody's feel...I don't know...different since coming here? On the turtle, I mean. Like...[another pause]...like maybe it's coming from a different place? Or works a little different than it used to?

[And, because she knows people will ask, she ends with a very nonchalant shrug.]

Just curious, is all.

Exactly like the one we're currently living on.

Except this is the last remaining turtle. The rest of its kind are extinct now.

[That much, she can understand. He had a point.]

If you've got an alternative explanation, I'd love to hear it.
