"What are you saying? What do you mean?" Reaves, taken aback by the unexpected twist in the narrative, flare up, urging Tom to elaborate further.
"Nexus is a new guy in town, and the others almost didn't have to kill him, even if he was feuding with someone else," Tom continues. "But if that person is Tiffany instead, then it all makes sense."
Reaves seemed to understand what he meant and was agitated.
"So far, everyone has been thinking in the wrong direction, ignoring Tiffany," Tom adds, emphasizing the critical shift in perspective. "You're the leader of the city, Reaves, and inevitably, you have grudges against others. The motive of the enemy could be killing Tiffany to get back at you. It makes sense."
Reaves absorbs this information, the weight of the situation sinking in. The chessboard of their lives undergoes yet another rearrangement, and the stakes are higher than ever.
