Nathan's eyes held a mixture of suspicion and determination. "I've been noticing something about the way you fight. It's not like the rest of us."

Mako's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Nathan's tone was direct, almost accusatory. "You fight with small pauses, moments where you seem to zone out. It's like you're accessing something."
