You know, the whole soul-eater scene played out in a few different scenarios in my head. In some versions he was a lot more blatantly unstable, both mentally and physically. He and the twins had some jabs to throw at one another, and the possibility of a really long, barb-filled conversation, but I decided that it’d probably start boring people to watch them just circling and snarking at each other for two or three more pages, so I ended up cutting it.

Over time and in a few pieces we’ll eventually get the full story behind the link between Ten, the twins, and Mr. Congeniality there. Not for a while, though. Right now we’ve got a sleep-deprived, confused, terrified kid to deal with.
