[Enoch has always been affection-starved. But this transformation has felt more isolating than anything. Sure, there are his fellow anomalies, but it still hurts that even knowing about all of them, people are still afraid of his appearance, or disgusted by his newly liquid composition.
Surely, if he waits where people are, he will find someone who will accept him. He's waiting outside the bunker, halfway blocking the stairs, for someone to acknowledge him. He doesn't seem to realize just how well he blends in with the snow. If you're on the half he's not on, enjoy the sudden nosebleed for no apparent reason. If you happen to approach or leave from his half? Well, you'll have a nosebleed and a tripping hazard.]
B: Normal + anomaly - outside the bunker
[Enoch himself is one of those people who happens to show up when the anomaly does. Someone approaching or exiting will find him and a white blob with his face conversing outside the bunker. They give off an air of tension, both sounding quite pained.]
I thought you of all people would understand. But you're like the rest. I'm...too disgusting to consider treating like a person.
Please, listen to me, I'm trying to tell you why - you're so much stronger than you think you are. Remember what we could do with the Veil? Miller has taken the unconscious control of that strength we've always had away from you!
The only thing he's taken from me is my body! And he gave it to you. You're not even a perfect copy, you-...if you were me, you wouldn't care about my appearance.
It isn't about your appearance! You've hurt others already. Rhys, and Dumpy, and who knows who else you've encountered-
I'm not hurting anyone! It's what Miller wanted and I'm not giving it to him! It's not as bad as you say.
When-...when we find a way to fix this, you'll understand.
There's nothing to understand, other than I'm not wanted. They'll believe you over me, because you still look like you're meant to.
[The anomaly slumps, the face melting back into its liquid body.] I'll-...I'll go. If my appearance is truly that upsetting, I'll go. That, I can believe hurts others...whether it's right or not.
[The anomaly turns and shuffles off into the snow, leaving a faint trail that fills in quickly in the snowfall. Enoch folds his arms tight and draws a deep breath, shaky with restrained tears.]
Flexible on day, what is time anyway. Open to everyone!
