Episode Six
Farm
Five stared in the farmhouse mirror at the reflection of a young boy. It probably wasn't healthy, to stay trapped in someone else's memory for so long. But she didn't care.
Obviously, it wasn't Two's memory. Not unless she'd changed gender since childhood. Wasn't Six, or Four, unless they'd managed to change race.
That left One and Three. Oddly, the reflection didn't look much like either of them. People changed with age, of course, but she couldn't find any resemblance at all. Despite this, she was leaning toward One. Three wouldn't be so… Three, if he'd had a happy childhood.
Pasture
She stayed here, in the happy farmhouse, because she'd seen too much. Everyone had such terrible memories in their heads, no wonder they were thieves and killers. Then she'd found an oasis. Loving parents, a warm home, fresh air, big pastures.
"Have you heard the story of Narcissus?" Ma startled Five. "He fell in love with his own reflection."
"I'm not in love!" The words sounded far too defensive, Five realized even as she said them.
Ma smiled at her. "I was only teasing, sweetheart. I just don't remember you spending so much time in front of the mirror before."
