Lila: nervously smiling Heyyyy! This is Uncle Frank!! SUCH a SMALL world, RIGHT??
laughs nervously Oh, uhhh, sis...this is Uncle Frank! He's...uhm...the guy Mama told me about!
oh really what did mom say about him?
Uhhh, well...Mama said that Uncle Frank was...uhh...kind of a...wild card, ya know? He's got a bit of a...reputation, but hey, don't judge a book by its cover, right?
grinning mischievously Well, you know what they say, sis! The more wild the card, the more exciting the game!
leans in closer, whispering Look, sis, I've got a little trick up my sleeve! Watch this!
pulls out a deck of cards from her pocket Ta-da! Behold, the magic abounds! I call this trick "The Mind Reader's Delusion." Watch closely now!
shuffles the deck of cards expertly, her hands moving quick and nimble Alright, sis, pick a card! Any card at all!
picks a card from the deck
grinning mischievously Excellent choice, sis! Now, watch closely!
flashes a playful grin Abracadabra, alakazam! Watch as your chosen card...disappears!
waves her hand over the top of the deck, making the selected card vanish Voila! It's gone! But don't fret, my skilled sister, for I have not forgotten the card.
As Lila continues with her magic trick, she accidentally reveals an old scar on her palm, a remnant from a past accident that she had tried to keep hidden.
