The best example is:
". . .thinking, this is beginning to sound serious. Worse than a loyalty test, this grilling over the coals. What’s it supposed to prove anyway?"

Why: it shows Millicent's inner thoughts and doubts — she’s questioning the initiation and feeling uneasy about it, which reveals a conflict inside her (wanting acceptance vs. resisting the ritual). The other lines are description, outward emotion, or spoken dialogue.
