The power to see five seconds into the future.
C could see every move Theo made, every opening in his stance, every misstep just before it happened. If he activated that ability now, this fight would end differently.
But...
A thought crept into his mind. Not here. Not in front of Neil.
He had already seen it, if he used his ability now, in front of Neil Arkes, what would happen?
What would the consequences be?
Would Neil notice? Would he figure out the truth behind C's skill? And if so, would he come after C once the match was over?
The risk was too great.
C couldn't afford to expose his secret, not for a fight that, in the grand scheme of things, didn't really matter.
That hesitation—the weight of caution, dragged his focus down.
Theo's punches came relentless, heavy, and fast.
