Wilbert reached down and began to unbolt the chains from the still-dreaming Nine. The insectoid remained still, making muttering sounds that sounded like his wife's name.
Sunshine sighed and shook her head. There was obsession and then there was, whatever Nine's thing was. It could not be explained. Love was too simple of a word to describe it.
Wilbert did not care about that; he was more interested in Sunshine. He wanted to figure out her secrets. "Your right, my appearance is a costume to keep others from remembering me. When you are ugly, everyone looks away because they deem it rude to stare. " He muttered. He looked at Sunshine; his brow furrowed in genuine curiosity. "You are human. How did you reverse the neurotoxin? No human metabolism is that fast."
"I took a pill," Sunshine said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out another Reddix.
Wilbert grabbed it fast. Faster than she could breathe.
