Everything from this point forward is purely speculative and should be taken with a spoonful of salt. I will, in the following paragraphs, be making the assumption that her Semblance is indeed lie detection.

Three major details really stuck out to me in Sparks with the scene where Ronyn stops the truck.

1: the missing finger on her gloves

2: Clover's refusal to shake hands, even for the sake of politely telling her to fuck off.

3: The heavy emphasis the camera work places on Robyn's hand

In a cold environment like Solitas, it seems strange that someone who actually bothers to wear gloves would do something like cut a finger off of them; and it's such a random detail to add without specific reason. UNLESS her Semblance is one that requires skin to skin contact to work.

Clover seems to be a half decent guy (or is at least good at making people think he is) so you'd think a simple hand shake to say "I want to, but I can't" would be perfectly reasonable. But he was staring at her hand like she was giving him the finger. If her Semblance is indeed lie detection, he mostly likely knows; and doesn't want to risk slipping up and having her realize he's not being entirely truthful.

The last bit is how much focus the camera put on it. They did everything they could to visually emphasize that Robyn extending her hand was important somehow. Her choice of words was also interesting. Why would Clover need to walk a solid 30 feet away from the vehicle he's escorting JUST to speak truthfully? Unless they both know that her Semblance is the only way she can truly believe what he says.

This concludes my highly specultive thesis.
