When Blurred Beans is active, he becomes subtly indistinct, blending seamlessly into his surroundings in a way that doesn't draw attention to him. Beans emits a subtle distortion in the air around him, like a faint ripple or shimmer that causes light to bend and refract ever so slightly. When Blurred Beans is deactivated, the subtle distortion that surrounded him dissipates, and he gradually becomes more tangible and visible to those around him. The hazy, indistinct outline that surrounded him slowly sharpens into a clear and recognizable figure, allowing others to see him with greater clarity.

Harold Polk’s Forensic Intuition is a unique extension of his mastery of Speech Act Theory, enabling him to interpret traces of past actions as though they were lingering “speech acts” left behind. By focusing his mind, Harold attunes himself to the silent “statements” made by evidence of crimes, interpreting each item as a residual expression of intent and action. To him, every piece of evidence is a fragment of an unspoken story, a series of “acts” that reveal themselves under his scrutiny.
For an hour after activating this ability, Harold senses the presence, distance, and direction of all evidence of crimes within 50 feet, as if these traces are calling to him, revealing their locations and the intent behind their concealment. His understanding of Speech Act Theory allows him to “read” the manner in which each piece of evidence was hidden or secured, making him instinctively aware of the techniques used to disguise it and the steps required to access it. Harold’s mind treats these traces as hidden messages, piecing together actions and motives to uncover truths buried in silence. Through this heightened awareness, Harold becomes a linguistic detective, reading evidence as if it were the remnants of a conversation between crime and concealment.
