Duke placed his fingers on Mercury's forehead, sending him into trance.

Neo let out a small giggle, then showed Duke something on her scroll.

I knew it!

"You knew I was hypnotizing people?" Duke asked.

"Neo is sometimes...very perceptive," Emerald said. "Don't worry. She won't tell anyone. Right, Neo?"

Neo nodded, then looked like an idea struck her as she typed in her scroll again.

I want to be hypnotized too

"You'll have to wait your turn," Duke said. "I can only do this one person at a time."

Neo gave a small pout, but nodded.
