As happy as he was, Mika knew that he couldn't delay this any longer.
The timing had to be perfect, and Charlotte was the key to everything. She was the main factor, the most important variable in his plan, and if she gave up on using her abilities now, everything would crumble before it began.
He took a deep breath and thought, 'Alright...time to start the act.'
