But if this is the secret, then why doesn't Jahlee burst out laughing when
threatened with it? At that very minute she is being presented with _deeds_
showing just how far humans are from accomplishing such - the Rajan is
preparing to use the inhumi to prey on his human enemies.

No, whatever "the secret" is, it's got to be a darn sight more - _do-able_,
as they say.

Best,
