The Beginning of the Competition

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Asked Alesia to a focused Daniel.

Daniel looked attentively at the man that had appeared out of the blue in the middle of the massive stadium. He had also noticed the man's missing finger, and yet, he could not be sure that he was the one that had commissioned the attack on his company.

Of course, Daniel had already thought of the possibility that the man's injury could be a simple coincidence, or that by absurd, it could be a distinctive mark of a certain type of people within the collective.. He wasn't stupid enough to make such an heavy accusation against someone with such a flimsy excuse.
