Re: Wellington School for Gifted Children
"Eh, I suppose I'll take it. It was more than I expected. So, "great machine", that's interesting. Have to think about that one. Well, I'm Sarah, I'm not really anything. I can see things, like a pattern to everything, or sometimes the lack of a pattern which can be very telling. It's complicated, but think of it as seeing beneath the skin. I don't just see a person, I see their veins, and where they run, and how they are connected. I don't quite know what the beating heart is, or even the point of veins, but I know they are there, and I sometimes know that one vein is sending blood to the finger, or the toe, but never why, really. I could tell you were different, I just didn't know if it was good, bad, or neutral. But you're strange, you're not like the others. You're more like... like there's a pattern missing, instead of a proper pattern. Ugh, I don't know. This is all stupid and confusing and I barely know what to think anymore. How do I know I can trust you? And what did you make about my letter?"
