You’ll leave the easy questions for the interrogation squad–right now you wanna cut <span class="mu-i">straight</span> to the meaty stuff! Clearing your throat as you and your benchmate watch the ex-hostages frolic about with ice cream, you ask Jed why he’s so dead-set on <span class="mu-i">your</span> parts anyways! You <span class="mu-i">kinda</span> get it, you add, pausing to touch a finger to your thigh and make a hissing sound, but, you wanna know the <span class="mu-i">REAL</span> reasons!
“... I thought I made myself clear back in the gallery.” He snaps, clearly not enthused about repeating himself. Well clearly he <span class="mu-i">didn’t</span>, you snarl, because you totally forgot what he said! Plus you were, like, preocculized, or whatever, so spill the beans or you’ll get Gus to come over here!
The skull locks eye sockets with the pizza delivery guy for a split second, and something about Gus’ dull, unyielding stare awakens something primal inside the killer’s skull–something that loosens his lips quite a bit!
“Have you ever seen a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis, Stanley?” Jed asks as he searches your eyes for comprehension. No, you shrug, but you took care of silkworms back in Fourth Grade–that was kinda cool!
“During its life cycle, a caterpillar undergoes a magnificent metamorphosis–a one-way transformation into a beautiful butterfly!” He explains with a glimmer of awe in his eye socket! “Does the caterpillar know what it will become? Is it truly the same creature that willingly encased itself in a chitinous tomb?”
You dunno, you frown, but there’s, like, <span class="mu-b">MeTube</span> vids on that crap if he wants to find out. You asked him a <span class="mu-i">different</span> question, damn it!
“You and the butterfly aren’t so different.” The skull replies in a matter-of-fact tone. “Anyone can see the power you wield–even the whispers in my skull can’t help but marvel at your growth…”
You raise an eyebrow. Whispers?
“Probably talkin’ about <span class="mu-r">TIM.</span>” Ly spits. “Not dat’ dis’ creep needed da’ motivation…”
