She plopped 102 down and played around until her cheeks were red with embarrassment. Then she spun on her heel and left to purchase the fine things she wanted. 101 wanted new dresses, accessories, and cosmetics, anything that made her look more like a witch than a battle machine.
102 picked up a comb and neatly brushed her hair, which had been tousled by her sister, and then lightly ran off to the activity center to play with Bud. Shallow Dream was there too, collecting one cup after another from the ice cream machine. Both escapees from the research facility, Bud was naive and innocent, while Shallow Dream was sullen and combative, but 102 treated them equally.
"You can't eat so much, you'll get really fat!" 102 said, lifting Shallow Dream by the scruff of her neck with one hand.
