Unknown to you, I observed that your group had an additional chaos emerald when you landed.
It was a fairly reasonable assumption that if I coerced you into giving me one you'd opt to give me a fake one, because why else would you bring a fake one, but thanks for validating my hypothesis for me.

Because it didn’t give off that usual hum. Real Chaos Emeralds resonate with the Master Emerald's frequency-it’s subtle, but if you’ve felt it once, you’ll always recognize it. You handed over a rock that felt dead inside.
