"H-Hey, what the hell is this…?" I whispered under my breath, my voice catching in surprise.
I couldn't help but stare, my eyes wide and blinking like an idiot. Out of nowhere, there was suddenly this whole crowd gathered around Gabrielle's speech. What the heck was even happening?
Just yesterday, she'd been talking to thin air with her practically arguing with the wind. And now? Now there were people actually standing there, nodding along, listening to every word she said.
The confusion kept scratching at the back of my mind like an itch I couldn't ignore, so I stepped forward, weaving between people until I got close enough to tap someone on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's going on here?" I asked, trying to keep my voice casual even though my heart was racing with curiosity.
"Oh… well, it seems this woman is talking about her vision if she wins as president. And honestly, it's kind of interesting to hear…" the cadet answered, her tone light but sincere, eyes fixed on Gabrielle.
