Used by Wayne Sutcliffe, Created by dad.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien. It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

When activated, Wayne’s pupils dilate sharply as if adjusting to a sudden shift in light. They become still as their head tilts slightly, eyes scanning microexpressions and picking our minutiae of tone and detail. To observers, it feels like being under a microscope.

But he knows the truth: people leak. Not just the secrets they choose to share, but the messages between words. Body language, lunguistic anomalies, eye movements... each part of the lattice. These messages are constant, undeniable, and inescapable.

The only problem is... it can't be turned off...
