That this boy immediately connects Bruce Wayne and Batman in broad daylight grates on my nerves. I know that people have connected the two identities together, that even without any of the others having given away the details in moments of frustration or confidence alike, my true identity has other ways of leaking out. In some worlds, I'm nothing more than a work of fiction. It's not possible to approach Tabula Rasa like any other place.

Still, if there's something to be said about the people on this island, it's that they are talented in any number of ways. To think that I'd always notice if someone was within earshot would be too bold and confident of me.

"It obviously isn't me you're thinking of," I reply wryly.
