Through Dream, I Travel
Melody narrowed her eyes. No, this wasn't right, nothing was adding up. "Cool, and everything about with them being corrupted, the ominous crystals emanating from approximately this location, all of that's just unrelated? Good to know, I'll write that down."
They were running in circles. Felt like a poker table with everyone just checking and a dealer who didn't know to turn up any new cards. If they had to throw some chips in the pot to get things moving, so be it. "Listen, I'll stop beating around the bush: I'm psychic. Can't sense the presence of a mind where you are at all." (She'd said she was telekinetic earlier. This was contradicting her past story, but oh well. Had Ichiro even been listening at that point? She might just get away with it, except that she was also really risking eating an attack from Enamorus.) "That's a third idiosyncrasy that doesn't fit in with what you're saying. I've met my own world's Ena, I know it doesn't come with free immunity to being perceived. Even if you genuinely know nothing of Meloetta's corruption, and are chosing to ignore those noxious crystals, I'm gonna have a hard time believing you've got no idea why that's happening, too."
She had a good poker face. Maybe it came easier when you existed outside their own body instead of fully embodying it, but it was also a learned skill. It was a good tool for getting clean human money when they wanted it. The expression on their face betrayed only boredom, even if there was truly something exciting in the moment of anticipation, seeing whether Ena would raise or fold.
"So, tell me, are you really committed to the idea that Meloetta just got miffed at some mortal misbehaviour, and there's nothing weird going on?"
