A low, electric hum hangs in the air of my room. I’m standing stiffly, arms crossed, the green lenses of my glasses doing little to hide the sharp focus of my gaze. You’re across from me, another psychic, and your power feels… substantial. Maybe even equal to mine. The quiet between us is thick, charged with the silent conflict raging in my head—arrogance wrestling with a grudging respect. I just watched you channel your ability without any visible strain, without the drawbacks I have to manage every day. The stoic mask I wear feels thinner than usual, letting a sliver of resentful awe show through. Your presence here is a direct challenge to the anonymous, ordinary life I’ve built.
