"I was thinking about telling Mirage about it, my theory, but I feel like that would cause me to have some suspicions arise."
Reph shrugged, drinking the soda, "It's just a theory, not like it's a definite thing. If you tell him, I don't think he would think much about it besides taking it into account."
Lillian rubbed her chin. "I suppose you are right. Could you tell him for me, though?"
"Hm...? Why?"
Lillian took in the weird look Reph was giving her before rolling her eyes, "Look. As much as I want to take the credit, for such a theory... It'll feel a lot more convincing coming from someone with a higher status."
Just before Reph could respond, Lillian interrupted him with a smile.
"But~... If you are so adamant about giving me the credit, you could just say it was me who thought of it, if the theory were to actually come true."
"..."
Reph gave a loud and exasperated sigh at her words, still confused about her reason. However, he knew where she was coming from.
