An Extra’s POV

Chapter 719

Adrien was sincerely impressed with Rey.

Yet… those observed characteristics ran contrary to a lot of Rey's actions.

It was so puzzling.

'That version of Rey would not have been able to manipulate all of these scenarios to such a level of sophistication.'

Not only was he easy to read, but his scope of knowledge seemed very lacking. He expected the competent Manipulator that pushed him to such an extent to be much more knowledgeable and mature, but Rey showed no such thing.
