I wanted to call out, but it came out as more of a squeak than a shout. \n\nYour head turned briefly, but in the dark it was impossible to distinguish between a [[grin]] and a [[smirk]].
I just ducked in to avoid a confrontation, but I couldn't help but notice the tentacles leading from the tunnel hub.

[[I]] heard you're planning yet another hostile takeover of the city's resources. It's been twenty years! [[You|you]] need to get over yourself, seriously.
I guess I'll be watching the news to find out. [[Unless...|can we]]
Are you the villain?

I wanted to call out, but I knew that blowing your cover would blow my chances. [[I]] watched [[you]] as you [[disappeared|can we]] into a metal duct.
