I can probably stop trying to explain away why they might have brought me for a DNA sampling exercise. Because he'd tried that, in good faith. Wanting to believe this was just a year out from his life, almost painless, maybe even a good thing. Both for him and Hank.
And he still thinks that in some ways, so far, it has been. And it's enraging to realise it was all built on lies, on a plan to create copies of them and discard them as soon as they weren't needed anymore. And they've both survived too much to let this take them down.
Hank can feel all of this, knows everything he's thinking right now - it's been an unexpected source of pride to see Hank improve at this steadily since they started using the implant, even if the circumstances were the worse they could be.
"I'd appreciate it. I don't need thirium unless I lose too much of it, but you never know."
Especially now.
"Whatever you need me to do with this case, though, I'm available. Just let me know."
The people who died without coming back, he thinks - has Hank seen any bodies personally? Is there any way to know if they're real people or duplicates?
