With the ground beneath William's palm as the center of collapse, the entire New Focus of Infection began flowing inward, causing all the "surface" to cave in while everything hidden inside was completely turned out from the other side of the world.
Fake Ruben, who was acting alongside William, also sensed the world's changes. It was his first time seeing William display such a strange and powerful ability—one capable of shaking the entire world and altering its very essence.
Lighthouse Mental Hospital had examined William more than ten times. Ruben could say that he "knew him inside and out."
However,
the ability to turn the world inside out that he was displaying had never been recorded in the files. William had never shown it during the two years since he came to the Evil Circle.
Clearly, William had possessed an ability capable of deceiving Ruben from the very beginning.
That was the ultimate "performance domain." After William became malice and used the Video Tape as a Literary Medium, his performance ability had been further elevated by malice, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
One manifestation of this "field" was the actor's stage, which could deceive everything within a fixed range.
