As madame Illusia finished presenting the contraption many people look away in order to don't make eye contact with her, however some people in the audience were looking at the strange device with a loose interest.
Madame Illusia saw a man who was looking at his hands in the first row rotating them from side to side and inspecting them.
" You, in the first row, would you like..." she was not able to finish that she was interrupted by a boy in the back row.
" I'm so sorry to intrude, Madame Illusia, but I have a matter of some urgency to share"
"...Jacob, listen to me, I beg you..." said quietly another person sitting next to the boy.
" What's going on? Why the boy sitting next to you is begging you to stop?" at that point, the second boy looked up and crossed the eyes of Madame Illusia.
" I regret that I have to interrupt you, Madame, but I have to tell you a bad story. My name is Jacob and a few years ago I met this person" said the guy pointing to the other boy " He was in his freshman year in college and he needed money... you know... to pay rent and other stuff like that..." Jabob sighed. He looked so disappointed "... so I started lend him money. He turned to his friends and acquaintances, asking anyone plausible to loan him money to fund his education, but no one wanted to help him. I'm not a person who lends money, but he assured me that if he hadn’t returned all the money, he would have worked for my family's farm for free. It’s been many years, but he didn’t pay me back... and worse, he doesn't want to work in my family's farm..."
" Complicated matter... what's your name, shy man?" asked Madame Illusia to the boy.
" My name...my name is Kyle..."
" Is it true what Jacob says?" Kyle had been sitting in the chair while Jacob was talking, but when Madame Illusia asked him this last question Jacob forcefully took Kyle’s arm and put him on his feet. The guy was like, in a million charred pieces. There was a long silence while he attempted to formulate his thinking, but in the end he only said a few words.
"That is the whole truth, yes..."
