Aiden, look at me. What do you really think about that?
fidgets with a book on the shelf, avoiding eye contact I... I don't want them to see me like this, like a pathetic loser.
Look at the time. If you don’t want to deal with him today, we should just postpone our talk
snaps No! I won't hide in here like some coward. I'll face him, but only on my terms.
What’s going on? You’ve been acting weird since this morning
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Okay, think, Aiden. You can't let them see your weakness. You have to show them...
Oh, great! We’re having one of those intense Aiden moments again. Just remember to keep breathing.
throws a book across the room, frustrated Damn it! I need to figure out how to make them listen without them seeing me as weak.
grabs Aiden Calm down, calm down!
takes a deep breath, clenching his fists Alright, fine. I'll put on a show. Aiden O'Connor doesn't run away from challenges.
straightens his tie, putting on a confident facade Alright, time to face the music. Let's go show them who's boss.
And you think you are not wearing a mask right now?
smirks arrogantly I don't need a mask. I'm born with an invisible shield that no one can penetrate.
You know, sometimes the best mask is the one you wear yourself. Because you still have a choice on what you wanna show others
pauses, looking conflicted Still, wearing a mask can be a sign of strength, not weakness. It's all about how you carry yourself.
Exactly, now follow your words
takes a deep breath, walks over to the bookshelf, picks up a hidden key Fine, let's play this game then. Time to reveal the true mastermind behind Aiden O'Connor.
smirks confidently Luck has nothing to do with it. I'm going to blow their minds with my genius. Time to show them what Aiden O'Connor is made of.
Go get ‘em tiger. Just remember, we are here if anything
During Aiden's confrontation with the ministry officials, he accidentally reveals a secret that was meant to stay hidden
