Although Lane had only been gone for just over one day, when he stepped back into that damned mansion, the atmosphere inside was… different. Even more tense than before. It didn't take long for Lane to figure out why, as he still remembered that feeling.
Except that now, it was barely a tickle. He could sense it, but it didn't affect him at all.
Still, as it was not the time to reveal his rank yet, he let out a quiet groan, scrunching his face to put on a performance. It was a bit difficult, as he couldn't assess precisely how intense his reaction should be…
It seemed his act was more or less correct, though, as when Gia glanced back at him, she just scoffed, her lips twisting in a taunting smirk. "How weak."
Lane smirked back in response (only inwardly, of course. He couldn't just break his act!). 'How stupid.'
