Re: The exchanging of unbelievable information, Henry, Rena, Leti, Oliver
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý"Very true, I am," Henry unnecessarily confirmed his brilliance, without a hint of self deprecation.

"That was another thing that struck me as odd, actually. He offer me the machine at first, until I showed him how staring myself in the face is plenty enough and I am godlike enough already. Well, that wasn't the strange part. What I mean is that he offered the machine to every one. Unfortunates, those with lesser amount of mind present, various disabilities, inborn or accidental. Every conceivable creature, even some of those I would not have tried. You know, from the institution. The really odd?fellows. It had the effect on everyone. He claimed it, I witnessed it.
?
Then I came to him with the same question you just had. And you know what?he told me? He told that he tried it already, and could not see nothing.?So either he is lying, though why he would bother I do not see. Or else his claim that anybody remotely human would be changed is overblown, which might be possible.?I tried to reassure myself that he is defective in some way, but as I mentioned earlier, it shouldn't be enough. The only defect that would explain something like that is that he lacks something to be fully human. I wasn't aware your kind existed before and was not comfortable completely with the idea. But now, I have to wonder what else is out there, and which one he really is. Though if?I were a supernatural creature of sorts, I would not be bothering with machines, I would just be indulging myself, passing the time, using my abilities.
?
But if he is bored, or better yet, he is somehow so unique that nobody of his kind is around, now that would be something, wouldn't it?
?
As for visiting him, I think the time is near.?Things appear to have started escalating, with our new little group getting to know one another. I think, the next opportunity we all have to engage with Reynolds, we probably should. Something nags at me, a hint of a dream I barely remember. It shouldn't mean anything. And Reynolds has been there for, longer than I remember. But this instinct of mine warns me he might disappear soon.?though as to the reason, I could not guess," Hyde uncomfortably admitted. ??
