"How are you not a Blanket yet? You're obviously stronger than they are."
She looked at him. Then she started to chuckle.
"Blankets are a species, not a rank. They're trained based on their species."
"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
She started to look at his hair.
"You have short hair. We need to get you some sort of.. Disguise."
She started to look around for a mask of some sort.
"Wait, how are you not hypnotised? The goggles should have…"
"I'm not sure myself. We'll find out.. Eventually. Ah! Here!"
She picked up some silver goggles and handed them to him.
"Put these on. Don't worry, they're defective. They don't work."
He strapped the goggles on his face.
"How do I look?"
"Great. Now.. uh.. Hm.. Put this beanie on."
She grabbed a dirty beanie and shook it off. He put it on his head, then looked at her.
"Now how do I look?"
"Almost there. We need you to get some clothes though. Those rags won't work."
"Hey, these cost me like 67k-"
"Uh huh. Let's see.. I doubt there are any just lying around…"
He hugged her.
"Keep me safe, ok?"
She stared at him. There was a pause, and she realized that she was the one who had to protect him.
"Okay, I will."
She smiled at him, and he smiled back.
