The disconcerting part was the girl’s face, or lack thereof. Her expression was masked behind a shifting mass of bugs that moved in and out of her hairline.
Hang on. Is any of the suit actually visible beneath the bugs?
Skitter has been known to use decoys, after all.
Sierra couldn’t even tell where the bugs ended and the scalp began, as the small black bodies crawled into and onto the black curls. There was a hint of something like glass where Skitter’s eyes were, but the bugs ventured far enough over her eyelids and around the frames that nothing was visible in the way of goggles, glasses or skin.
Alright, it looks like it’s really her.
Skitter hadn’t made a sound as she entered. She hadn’t spoken, and her footsteps had been quiet.
…or is it?
It would make sense for her footsteps to be quiet if she didn’t have any.
But I suppose they’d hear the buzz if the bugs were flying.
Maybe it’s another situation where they’re holding each other up from the bottom?
