Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

Doesn't really matter for going forward, I guess. But subjectively, like. Were you the equivalent of a teenager, like us? Or are you like, I don't know, an old grandma in Yeerk terms?

[ Yeerks die when they reproduce, which he remembers — from the conversation with the visser's twin, and from his own fleeting mind-meld with the one who had infested him — but he still finds himself curious about this. Wanting to know more. (About these people he slaughtered.) ]

I was old enough that I could have created more Yeerks. I wasn't a juvenile. Not the same way you all were.

[ Which is weird because her body takes a good deal of Cassie, which makes her Jake's age. At least in human terms. ]

Why?

[ It had been so surreal, Aftran taking on this new body. Seeing this face that both was and was not Cassie. And of course, of course she had offered that up, her own DNA and her own body to this Yeerk. Jake could understand the reasons behind it, could even approve of the solution — it was a better option than any animal alternative — but he could still be skeeved out by it. ]

I don't know. Even after all those years, there's so much I don't understand about Yeerks. Not like Cassie did.

[ Largely because he hadn't let himself. Had closed himself off to it, as the only way to get through that war, to keep going. ]
