Most people accept the first explanation. You never could. Not because you're skeptical — because you're paying attention. The world is full of things hiding in plain sight, and you're one of the few people equipped to find them.

You read between the lines. You notice patterns before they announce themselves. You're the person who figured out the ending of the movie before anyone else — and stayed quiet, because you knew no one wanted to hear it yet.

The question that drives you isn't what happened — it's why. The surface is never the story. You've always known that.

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." — Sherlock Holmes
