| “ | My sister Merry, you know about her. Like you, she always saw the good in people. She thought, given a chance, bad people could change. Even Brainwave. Brainwave was different than The Shade or the Crocks or Cindy. He was too far gone. And no matter what I told Merry about him, she was in love. For some reason. I blamed his powers. Thought he had tricked her into loving him or planted the idea in her brain, but... I don't know. And they married. Had a son, Henry. And for a while... She kind of proved me wrong. | ” |
