“What do you want to know.  About your friend there?  It’s more research than anything else.  Or maybe about you?”

I blinked.  The stuffed animal was close.

Which friend? Grue?

“Art and you, huh.  You want to know what I’m gonna do when we’re done with my investigation?”

Sure, why not.

Why not?  Knowing had to be better than wondering.  One blink.

Pfft. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, I’m in tune with Taylor.

“I’m going to go all out.  Way I figure it, I set your Gemma lobe to attract bugs around you, then remove it, so you’ve got no conscious control over it.  But there’s a point to it!

So she’d be a constant bug magnet?

I make some physical modifications to you, see.  Implant some of Mannequin’s equipment so you’ve got enough sustenance to keep you going, and sustenance to keep the bugs you bring to you alive.  You become a living hive, see?  We could even make it so they crawl inside you and build nests there.”

Not gonna lie, that’s… not a bad idea, from the perspective of someone who thinks like Bonesaw. She’s got a sense of thematics in her art.
