Hux was shocked. Why was Bill being like this? Why was he afraid? Did he not recognize him?
He shuddered at the thought that his brother might have been treated so harshly as to influence his memories. He quickly got to his knees and wrapped his arms around him.
“Bill, it’s okay, it’s fine, you’re safe. It’s me. It’s Armitage. Do you remember?… I… I’ve come to get you. You’ll be fine now.”
Techie nodded, awestruck, and got up off the ground. His knees were soaked with MaMa’s blood, but he was staring so hard at Armitage that it escaped his notice. Could this really be happening? What he’d dreamed of for years until he’d given up and resigned himself to misery? He followed after his brother on shakey legs and kept flicking his gaze to the trooper, on edge.
