Tension Unresolved but Not Fully Broken

As for whether there was a truth-telling **Divine Gift**, there certainly was. Samuel's second skill could detect lies, for instance. However, Rita trusted that the authorities had ways to counteract such measures; after all, she wasn't being given two percent of the profits for nothing.

Feeling content, Rita closed her eyes.

—"Why do you think she's been gone so long?"

—"She must be hunting food for us."

—"Meow, this food is so delicious!"

—"Such good food must be hard to get. Maybe we should bring her a gift next time."

—"What should we bring? Mice? She's such a great cook, she probably wouldn't eat mice."

—"I don't know either. I just feel like I should give her something."

—"Same here, meow~ I feel the same~"

—"How strange~"

Rita smiled, her heart lightened. It seemed the cats in her yard might indeed mutate.
