"Now that she's gone… mind telling me why you were faking your pain when touching the tetrahedrons?"
I froze. "You… knew?"
"Hehe, of course I did. I haven't been living with you for 14 years for nothing, after all."
… Great. My LUC stat is going to take a hit again, right after I just leveled it up. It seems my acting skills also needed some work. Was there an ACT stat or something? I needed one.
"Uh… well, I didn't want either of you trying to take multiple tetrahedrons, since I didn't know what consequences there were," I explained.
"If I fake my pain, I can just say I'm still experimenting with something and continue to take all the tetrahedrons, like what I did in the second reality rift. You know, the one where the core was a lot smaller and easier to get above of to see the paths. It also only had three tetrahedrons."
