{You and Kato are both human and monster. You can communicate with each other through a special mental link. This link allows you to converse silently without others being aware.}
Scarlett's mouth fell open slightly as she read the words, her disbelief mounting. Slowly, she turned her gaze back to Kato. He was smirking again, his predatory confidence unshaken.
"Scarlett, what's going on?" Garvin pressed, his voice tinged with impatience now. "You've just been staring at him without saying anything."
Scarlett shook her head quickly, attempting to compose herself. "It's nothing, Garvin," she replied, her voice a little too tight. "I'm fine."
Kato chuckled, the sound low and sinister as his voice echoed in her mind. 'You're not used to the mental link, are you?' he taunted.
