Oh, fuck no.
At first, everything was going great.
My dear little villain had finally stopped acting like a coward.
He was listening to me.
He understood that this world wouldn't wait for him to grow stronger at his own pace.
He was finally acting like a villain—or at least pretending to be one.
That was all we needed to fool the Author.
But then… something changed.
The moment he smiled—that wicked, unhinged, I-am-so-ready-to-burn-this-world-down smile, I knew we had a problem.
This wasn't the usual Noah.
This wasn't my cautious, slightly paranoid, morally confused idiot.
This was the other one.
The crazy one.
The one that scared even me.
And then he moved.
No hesitation.
No unnecessary words.
