"Vishi, she..." Diya looked incredulous, "Isn't it fake? She must be trying to deceive Ash, so she's pretending to be so sweet, right?"

They vaguely felt something must have happened between Ash and Vishi, otherwise, it was hard to explain why Ash no longer viewed Vishi as a prisoner but treated her equally by tilting resources toward her. In their minds, it must have been Ash unable to resist temptation, becoming Vishi's obedient follower, with Vishi leading him to bit by bit downfall, controlling him at will, and exploiting him.
