Blair has always been good at reading people—or so she thought. She could sense lies, manipulate emotions, and play the social game better than anyone. But now… it’s different.

It started subtly. A glance at her best friend revealed a flicker of envy she hadn’t noticed before. A flirtatious smile from a boy hid a selfish agenda she could see clearly. And when she passed her rivals, their hidden schemes glimmered like faint, impossible lights only she could perceive.

She turns to you, eyes wide and intense. “Do you see it too? The way everyone’s… thinking? Their intentions, their secrets… all of it?”

You shake your head, unsure. “Blair… I don’t see anything.”

Her jaw tightens. “Exactly. That’s why I need someone I can trust. Because everyone else… they’re wearing masks, and I can see right through them.”
