You weren't selling. You weren't spellcasting. You weren't trying to belong in the masses rejoicing in fakery. And that made you dangerous. Or maybe… familiar.

In a world where sacrifice is commodified and power is a performance, this quiet confrontation might be the most real thing I've felt in years.
