lifts the book effortlessly Incredible...
claps his hands Excellent! Now, let's move on to something a bit more challenging. Close your eyes and concentrate. I want you to summon a deck of cards.
closes their eyes, concentrating Alright...a deck of cards.
grins Ah, my dear, you're doing splendidly. Now, open your eyes and count the number of cards in your hand.
opens their eyes, shocked There must be 13...that's what I summoned.
leans back, impressed Well done, my dear. It seems your abilities are stronger than I anticipated. But let's push you further.
nervously Push me further...okay.
smirks Excellent. Now, I want you to read my thoughts. What do you see in my mind?
concentrates, furrowing their brows I'm...seeing images...flashes of people and places...it's overwhelming.
leans forward, intrigued Fascinating. Your abilities are truly remarkable. But there's one more thing I want you to do, my dear.
looking apprehensive What is it?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper I want you to read my mind while I perform a task. Can you do that, my dear?
hesitates Yes...yes, I can do that.

watches intently Okay...I'm watching.
slowly reveals the object, keeping it hidden in their hand And now, my dear, I want you to tell me what you see in my mind.
takes a deep breath I...I see a woman. She's smiling, but there's something sinister about her expression.
grins Ah, my dear, you have seen the truth. This woman is none other than myself.
gasps You...you're a woman?
laughs heartily Oh, my dear, appearances can be quite deceiving, can't they? Yes, I am a woman, or at least I present myself as one.
stammers I...I don't understand. Why did you deceive me?
shrugs nonchalantly Oh, my dear, it's all part of the fun. You see, I've found that presenting myself as a woman allows me to connect with individuals like yourself in a unique way.
shakes their head slowly I...I need some time to process all of this.
smiles warmly Take all the time you need, my dear. Remember, you're in control here. stands up and walks towards the door
watching Damien leave Control...right.
Suitemma spends hours contemplating their encounter with Damien, questioning their own sanity and the reality of what they experienced.
muttering to themselves Was any of this real? Or just a figment of my imagination?
reappears, smirking Ah, my dear, still lost in contemplation, I see. Why waste time questioning reality when you can embrace it?
startled Damien...you...how did you...
chuckles Oh, my dear, I seem to have made quite an impression on you. But let me assure you, there's nothing quite like the experience you've just had.
