"Oh and before I forget." Sylva stopped by the door, recalling something.
I blinked. A little bit surprised that Sylva had much more to say.
"Yes?"
"Nico...that black cat boy has a hard time trusting others. So if you want to earn his trust-"
"You need to be his friend."
My eyes widened the minute I heard Sylva say those words.
Because it didn't seem like something she would normally say out loud.
But to go as far as telling me that.
I get the feeling that Nico lived alone much longer than Vin, Maxi, and I combined.
'A black cat?' I wonder why Sylva called him a black cat.
I remember how some of the adults warned us.
Never let a black cat cross your path.
Otherwise bad luck will appear in the near future.
'But...'
Will I have an easier time befriending Nico as a girl or a boy?
...I feel like I might end up betraying his trust if I end up going as Howard.
'But I have to be a boy whenever I perform magic tricks in London right?'
I hope Nico will forgive me if he ever finds out.
