A minute passed as we pulled ourselves together, checking our injuries.
Would’ve been nice if Panacea hadn’t run off, huh.
“He left me alive,” I said, as the realization dawned on me. “He didn’t kill any of us, but he had an excuse and the ability to kill me. Why didn’t he?”
Hmm… maybe he’s got a more brutal, perhaps personalized, revenge in mind?
“The world revolves around you, doesn’t it?” Bitch snapped.
You’re one to talk.
I was trying to think of how to reply to that when the thought struck me. The world, my world. My people.
Yeah, that’s something that came to mind re: personalized revenge, too. I should’ve mentioned it, and probably would make a followup post on it after this one if it hadn’t come up.
Killing the people of Skitter’s territory while she’s off to other places would be the most Mannequin-esque thing to do to get back at someone who helped them survive and clearly cared a lot about keeping them alive.
Mannequin had been nearby when I was in my territory.
Waiting for Taylor to leave, perhaps?
“He’s going to hurt me by going after my gang.”
I was thinking less specifically than that, but it’s the same idea.
This neatly ties things together, too, giving further Arc relevance to the look we got at Skitter’s expansion last chapter. Chekhov is pleased. 🙂
