Dante, who watched Lucian's eagerness, was exasperated.
He shook his head.
Seeing his old friend all but falling over himself to please Isaac was a strange, but not surprising.
He has always been like this, Dante thought.
Isaac walked quietly between Lucian and Dante.
Lucian led the way.
Dante followed a few steps behind Isaac, scanning the area out of habit.
Isaac's eyes narrowed slightly.
Vale's following too.
He could sense the man's faint energy signature, concealed but still traceable now that Isaac was actively searching.
I still can't sense Professor Catherine.
She must be using a high-level mind skill. It's not invisibility, but something that alters my perception of her.
Isaac had suspected that already, but he was now sure of it.
Her disappearance wasn't physical; it was mental.
It meant her skill worked directly on the mind, twisting how others perceived reality.
