"Glad to hear that," he said, his voice laden with a mix of sincerity and a hidden agenda. "I have to admit, however, and it might surprise you two: the fire wasn't a part of the competition. Well, it wasn't supposed to be."

Very sus
"It was fleeting, but I'm certain there was someone else in the command room before the fire broke out," Cheryl explained, her eyes reflecting determination. "I couldn't make out any features, but the shadow seemed to move with purpose, as if intentionally trying to avoid being seen."

I feel you Vlad
Vlad was still watching from one step behind.

So bossy

Oh we're back to real time!

"You're correct in keeping this ability a secret," he continued, his voice filled with a mix of caution and trust. "But you can trust me. I owe you my life." He glanced down at the cards, a solemn atmosphere settling around them. Already, five cards were laid out on the table, each depicting cats and cat paws, though the imagery belied the gravity of the situation.

"What can I say... It seems to be your destiny, child," he murmured.

good question actually
Suddenly, the woman heard a noise that made her freeze. Slowly turning around, she saw an unexpected sight: a fully grown tiger with white and blue fur and piercing eyes.

How could he possibly know? Rachel felt a surge of tension, her eyes locked onto his, unblinking.
Fantasy · Narashie
say what
"Tell me, Rachel," he spoke softly, his hands still holding the cards. "How long have you possessed the ability to discern when people are lying?"

He took a card from the deck and put it on the table next to the notebook.
