Compared to Subject Eleven, the blind boy is nothing to be afraid of -- where designing her almost broke him, the blind boy was a reiteration of old principles. Jeb made no major changes in his design from Maximum's.

And yet he's so much different from her.

Jeb can't keep his eyes off the blind boy. Aesthetically, he's the most beautiful of any of the recombinants: fair-complexioned with light hair and eyes, with elegant, simple features.

"Morning, Iggy," he says, struggling to keep all the emotion he feels out of his voice. If Max knew...

The blind boy just smiles.
