| Synopsis: |
Ben : Growing up is hard, and growing up in Prospero is even harder, but I think we manage. I mean, yeah, my friends and I spend more of our time fighting a race of shapeshifting aliens than we do hanging out, but we still have our fun. We go to parties, help each other with our classes, maybe even fall in love...I've no illusions that we live ordinary lives, but they're our lives, and I'm going to make sure we make the most of them whether the Splinters want us to or not. Mina: The truce is temporary. We will not humor the Splinters forever. It's only until the Slivers can be stopped, until the army of Shards being planted among our classmates can be disassembled, until we get our hands on the thing I'd almost given up believing in. The humanity test. For the chance to know, once and for all, who can be trusted, some dealings with monsters must be excusable. Inevitable. Just like this feeling between Ben and me. And that has to be temporary too. |
