An Extra’s POV

"Ever since we started training, Rey has always been suspicious."

As Adam stated this, Rey's body twitched slightly.

'Me?! Suspicious? How?!'

As far as he knew, he had done his best to blend in with everyone and act as average as possible.

'What's with this bullshit?!'

"He would often mumble to himself and act weirdly. I noticed all of these things from a distance."

The moment Adam said this, Rey ceased his pointless thoughts.

He was guilty as charged.

'But I'm barely audible! And someone like Adam wouldn't have noticed!'

Besides, was it really that strange to talk to oneself in training? Especially if you were alone with no friends?

It was sad, sure, but not strange.

'But, with how Adam is framing it, and how the current situation is, that will be taken to mean I'm very suspicious.'

Rey already knew how things went at times like this.

He just decided to listen.

"One day as I was taking a stroll, I found him leaving the Royal Estate. I wanted to say something, but I ignored it, thinking maybe I was being delusional."

Leaving the Royal Estate was a serious matter, but the way Adam framed it suited his entire persona well, so no one was really surprised that he treated it flippantly.

"I noticed him doing it a few more times, so I got curious. He would often carry things with him anytime he came back, so it piqued my curiosity."

Rey narrowed his eyes as he stared at Adam.

'Something isn't right here…'

What Adam was describing was too vague to be realistic, and the anytime he became specific, Rey was sure that wasn't how the events went.

'I never carry anything with me when I'm coming back, and it's pretty dark when I do so.'

Also, Adam never specified how Rey left the Royal Estate since that was a very pertinent matter.

'I shapeshift into a bird once the coast is clear. If he wanted to expose me, he would have mentioned that.' Rey's gaze narrowed.
