Marczak was definitely capable of pretending and lying, as evidenced by this little press conference in front of the actor's house. He invented the deceptions on the spot without changing the tone of his voice, expression or even eyesight. After all, he had years of private and professional practice.
And yet Nowicki had the impression that this time he heard something really honest in his voice. His joy, surprise, and then matter-of-factness had traces of the same tension that he felt himself. It could be a lie, but it could also be absolute honesty. It will be easier for Andrzej to unravel it if he looks into his eyes.
At least he hoped so.
