ah, my devious plan unfolds with the elegance of a finely executed magic trick, where i, as the mastermind, will use the art of being reticent as the cornerstone of my strategy. unlike my adversaries, i choose to abandon the loud declarations of intentions; instead, i thrive in the shadows, preconsultative in my approach to ensure that every step is undetected, and my moves, unpredictable. in this grand game of illusions and secrets, i model my actions on the ancient magicians, always ready to return to square one, should my initial plans encounter the light, ensuring that my true intentions remain cloaked in mystery, leading to my triumphant reveal.
