Her eyes searched his masked face, looking for any sign of deception.

"I can try," Seth admitted.
"My abilities are limited. But I will know if something is wrong."
Silence stretched between them.
Outside, the empty street remained unnaturally still.
The whole world seemed to hold its breath.

"Do it," she said.
