“For the next part of the plan, I must confess something…” You put on a mysterious act that you’re sure the ladies love. Anastasia and the Suitcase look worried about you. Mainly Anastasia. You wait a couple of extra seconds for dramatic tension. “...I can turn myself <span class="mu-i">and</span> others invisible.”
“Good. It’s safer if you tell them.” Matilda admits that she prefers spreading the word about your powers than run the risk of getting everyone in trouble.
“Whatever do you two mean…?” Anastasia feels rightly confused.
“It is as he says.” Matilda confirms. “Show her.” She wants to move on from the explanation. You don’t have the luxury of time.
“<span class="mu-i">Behold</span>.” You turn your hand invisible just like you did with Ichie with some magician flair. You’re glad you evolved your powers into something easily demonstrable.
“<span class="mu-i">For all the goodness on heaven and earth...!!!</span> It is as you said! A miracle before my very eyes!” Anastasia frantically starts skipping in place, tears of joy forming on her face. The Former Bride’s world view has been expanded to something that has never crossed her mind.
“What?! He’s not messing with you? He sounds like a fun guy who loves messing with people!” The Briefcase can’t see shit despite having holes to breathe. They aren’t big enough to see anything. You haven’t mentioned it, but this girl’s accent is far less thick than Anastasia’s.
“I’m not. I, uhm, fell into a vat of toxic waste or something, that’s how I got these powers…” You scratch the back of your head as you come up with a shitty lie. They don’t need to know every detail, or else you’ll be here all day. Matilda raises an eyebrow at the lazy retelling.
“Cassie, it’s like those graphic novels you enjoy! I’ve been so blind to those <span class="mu-i">beautiful sacred texts</span>, I will never speak ill of them!” Anastasia’s amazement will last a lifetime.
“T-That’s great, Annie. But those are fiction.” The Suitcase feels like her sister is sharing a bit too much.
“Fiction no more, Cassie!” It’ll be way harder to convince Anastasia that you’re tricking her than to believe your uninspired origin story at this point.
“T-Thanks for the trust. But you two have to keep it a secret from everybody, okay? Assume only us four know, understood?” You think she’s overreacting. You have received so many different reactions upon hearing this news that you have a distorted view on how this goes.
“I’ll never cross you! I’d rather take my own life than cause you any grief! You two are my saviors, my angels! I’ll love you two forever~!” Anastasia has become a fanatic. You’d say something, but it feels like a waste of time, maybe later.
“Huh, same, but toned down a hundred nudges.” The Suitcase wants everyone to know she’s not a psycho like her sister.
