I want you to write a compelling story about a person who has the unique ability to hear the thoughts of others, but only when they are lying. The story should explore the complexities of this ability, how it affects the protagonist's relationships, and the moral dilemmas they face as they navigate a world full of deception. Use vivid descriptions, realistic dialogue, and a tone that balances intrigue with emotional depth. The story should be written in my communication style, which is concise yet evocative, with a focus on character development and subtle world-building.
