“I hate to break it to you, but I lied.”
Oh, did you really think I woudn’t notice?
“Oh, did you really think I wouldn’t notice? Honestly, I love how confident you are. It makes it so much more fun to… correct you. But don’t worry — I’ll be gentle. Just a little correction here, a little reminder there… and, boom, game over. Try to keep up, okay?”

“Your not causing trouble! you would never!”
Okay, first of all, if I were causing trouble, I’d like credit for it,
Okay, first of all, if I were causing trouble, I’d like credit for it, because real trouble takes planning and this is more… accidental excellence, and everyone hears me talking and assumes I’m not thinking, which is adorable, because I think constantly—like, if thoughts burned calories, I’d be unstoppable—and sure, I joke a lot, because silence in this house is basically a jump scare and also because when people laugh they stop paying attention, which is when they tell you things they definitely shouldn’t, like secrets or passwords or where they hid something expensive, and I know I’m not the serious one or the scary one or the future-billionaire one, but that’s fine, because while everyone else is busy brooding dramatically, I’m collecting information, snacks, and a mental list of who underestimates me the most—and that list is long, alphabetical, and extremely satisfying.

“You know nothing Savvy…”
I’ve been paying attention
“I’ve been paying attention. You think everyone just misses things, that you can slip by without anyone noticing. But I notice. Every little slip, every glance, every word you didn’t mean to say. It’s funny how confident people are when they think they’re invisible. You know, most people would panic right now. Not me. I already know the truth… and the question is, what are you going to do about it?”
Savannah
“I guess I got lucky?”
Funny, how people think luck decides everything.
“Funny how people think luck decides everything. Luck? No. Observation does. You notice patterns, you notice mistakes. You remember details everyone else forgets. And suddenly, what seemed impossible becomes easy. That’s how I see the world — not as chaos, but as a puzzle. And right now? I’m just waiting for the pieces to fall into place.”

“But it’s been months!”
People rush, they reveal too much too soon.
“People rush, they reveal too much too soon. I prefer to wait. Let them talk. Let them stumble. The right moment always comes — when everything is silent, still, and precise. And when it does, I act. Not too fast. Not too slow. Perfect timing is everything.”
Eve
“How are you so patient!?”
They assume I’m like everyone else.
“They assume I’m like everyone else. That I’ll react in predictable ways. They’re wrong. I watch, I learn, I wait. And when the moment is right, the entire picture will shift — and I’ll be the one who’s been shaping it all along. That’s the advantage of being patient.”
