Two trainees and one of his graduated Chosen were dead.
Rude, Shatterbird.
…actually, this is the first instance we have of one of the Fellowship members actually killing someone in these Interludes, other than them talking about having killed. That might be supposed to tell us something about Shatterbird. Perhaps she’s more reckless about these things than the others we’ve seen?
They’d been wearing glasses, and the glass had penetrated their eyes to tear into their brains.
Ahhh. Yeah, that risk is a thing that’s been built up ever since 10.6 (though I didn’t recognize it for what it was in that particular chapter, since it was more vague then than in 11.1).
I didn’t think of the potential for the glass to go all the way into the brain and outright kill them that way, though.
The others were all wounded to some degree or another. Some had been hit by the glass that flew from glasses others were wearing, others from the windows, and one or two others had patches of blood rapidly expanding around pockets where cell phones had been stowed.
Hm, Taylor was probably right when she suggested that the pocket might not be a safe location for Danny’s glasses either.
