The welcoming ceremony for "new recruits" in Exodus seemed to follow an established routine. Posthumans would arrive weary and dust-covered from the outside world, their spirits and even their skin feeling numb and chapped. Silas would then gently soothe and care for them, bit by bit, starting with their most basic physiological needs like food and sleep.
After a hearty lunch—during which Silas didn't forget to remind Lin Sanjiu that resources would soon run short if their numbers kept growing—and a refreshing, satisfying bath, the twin brothers reappeared wearing brand-new tracksuits and jogging pants. The two of them looked even more indistinguishable.
The only thing that hadn't changed was their thick, spiky hair that exploded outwards in all directions. Now that the dust was washed away, it looked even more tenacious, jutting stubbornly into the air as if daring anyone to question its unyielding spirit.
