Amra New Skills

Amara paced the empty rehearsal room, her mind racing as the system's voice hummed in the back of her head.

[Look, I'm not usually this generous, but for once, I'm willing to help you for free. You've been amusing to watch lately.]

"How kind of you," Amara muttered, rolling her eyes. "What's the catch?"

[No catch. Just a little… bonus. I'm going to give you some advanced acting skills. You'll need them if you're going to pull off this audition tomorrow without looking like an idiot.]

Amara stopped pacing and narrowed her eyes. "Why do I feel like this is going to end badly?"

[Oh, it will be fine. You've got this. Now, hold still while I download the knowledge into your brain.]
