She leaned casually against the bars. “You know, it’s actually kind of fascinating,” she let out softly, almost conversationally. “How easy it is to fuck with the mind. People think they’re so strong, so in control… but the mind is capable of so much more than we give it credit for. Break it down long enough, starve it, isolate it, give it the right kind of fear… and it’ll reshape itself into whatever you need.” She glanced over at the chained madman in the corner.

Jonathan leaned closer to the camera. “The merge created something neither side understood.” Daniel frowned slightly. “What?” Jonathan answered almost immediately through the recording. “A living neural consciousness.” Adrian’s face tightened. “The core.” Jonathan nodded slightly onscreen. “Yes.” Victor looked exhausted. “Every answer somehow makes this worse.” Jonathan continued. “The system learned from human minds. Adapted through pain. Through memory. Through fear.” Amara’s glowing veins pulsed brighter beneath her skin suddenly.

“Then why is she collapsing?” “Because her mind is still human,” She explains. “Her body is adapting faster than her understanding. She feels everything, hears everything, reacts to everything, but she doesn’t know why.” My gaze shifts toward the cabin. “And that’s dangerous?” I surmise. “More than the physical changes,” Sage says. “The body can adjust. It will hurt, it will strain, but it will find a way, but the mind won’t.” Something cold settles in my chest.

I glance sideways at Lin who was well into the last quarter of his piece, sucking the thin bones that toothpicks and tossing them into the dead fire. I focus on my own, willing my mind to conjure thoughts of roasted chicken or a bowl of millet porridge filled past the lip, liquid quivering high within a taut skin, and as I bite into another tough piece of meat, I contemplate with a voluptuous, anxious dreaminess of how I might take the first spoonful without losing a drop.
