    ❝  Playing dumb  ?  What do you mean  ?  I asked a simple question.  ❞  Even if the other had called him out on his little act, he’d follow through with it until the end. ❝  I think that if I had known, I wouldn’t have asked.  ❞  He tilted his head slightly. ❝  It was a feeling. A kind of aura you gave off, I suppose. But perhaps I was mistaken. Maybe there isn’t anything special about you at all  ?  A typical plain-Jane  ?  ❞ He knew that wasn’t the case, regardless of the other’s words.

↳ ❂ ↰  “You can keep lying to yourself, pal, but we both know the truth.” What a hypocrite, for Kaeto to shame a person for lying, especially when he, at that very moment, in fact, was doing the exact same thing–playing dumb. Such an obnoxious cycle that was. “I mean, I’m a little smart, but that’s all I can think of that’d set me off from other people. Not sure what you mean by aura, unless you’re telling me you can see them or something? Pretty sure that’d make you a psychic of some sort, and that’s far more interesting than anything I can do.”
