“The wrong bodies, Jared. Oh, I’m sure Wanda would be upset by a human corpse — she’s so gentle; violence and death aren’t a part of her normal world. But think what the things on that table must have meant to her.” It took him another moment. “Oh.” “Yes. If you or I had walked in on a human vivisection, with torn body parts, with blood splattered on everything, it wouldn’t have been as bad for us as it was for her. We’d have seen it all before — even before the invasion, in horror movies, at least. I’d bet she’s never been exposed to anything like that in all her lives.”
