Chapter 16 - THE LEGENDARY TECHNIQUE
Media became obsessed with Naomi's movement.
They called it:
The Carter Drop.
Isaiah hated that.
“It isn't a legendary style.”

Create distance.

No mystical secret.
No assassin lineage.
Naomi had practiced since childhood because Isaiah believed confidence reduced panic.
She rarely used it.
The gala was first time in years.
Silas realized memory had enlarged the past.
He had turned Isaiah into legend because guilt made ordinary friendship feel sacred.
Isaiah told him:
“Stop making me a statue.”
