The pillow smacked me dead in the face.

I didn't react. Not even a flinch.

Honestly? I deserved that.

As the fabric slid off my face and landed on the floor, I let out a slow exhale, bracing myself. Camille had her arms crossed, an expectant glare locked onto me. Sienna, while slightly less aggressive, had the same expression—the kind that told me I needed to start talking. Immediately.

I ran a hand down my face. "Okay. Right. Explaining. That's... fair."

Camille arched a brow. "Go on."

I sighed, finally sitting down on the couch. "Alright. So, you both know that my newest job as an astronaut is ranked at C, right?"

They nodded.

"Well... normally I get skills every time I get a new job, but this time, my Instinct had stopped me from gaining any."

Sienna tilted her head. "Instinct?"

I hesitated for a fraction of a second before deciding to just say it. "It's one of the detective skills I have, I rely on my gut to adapt in real-time. In all honesty, I started relying a bit too much on it since it's a really powerful skill. But this time in terms of learning and acquiring more skills? It held me back."
