I'm not a fool.

So when Salem started exhibiting signs of their 'redemption' way to early for it to be my power...I knew it was bullcrap.

So, I decided to con her back.

I treated them nice. Treated them kindly.

All the while, I orchestrated 'incidents' for them to help in.

Mainly, with Lloyd, as I knew they had a massive crush on him.

Slowly but surely...it worked.

I could tell it was becoming genuine.

But they seemed....nervous.

So...I confronted them. Told them I knew all along of their con. And that I conned them straight back.

At first, they adamantly denied it...but then...they just...started crying, Probably out of shear guilt.

I gave them a hug.

I'm not a fool.

So I conned the conner.

In a true con, the fool cons themselves.

And I took advantage of that.
