- Gerry recalls that something was always going on at the shelter. Janie did whatever tasks needed doing. Lone was out a lot, with the twins helping him. Baby stayed in his bassinet. Gerry would make improvements to the shelter or play with Janie and the twins. Sounds fun.
- But Gerry felt mad that he didn't have any special mind-powers the way the others did.
- He explains the word "bleshing." It means everyone together being something, even if they did different things, like separate parts of one body. It meant a mix of blending and meshing, but more.
- Baby communicated nonstop like a broadcasting station, signaling by waving his arms and legs to represent entire thoughts. Janie made him invent it because, due to growing up, she and the twins were losing the ability to hear thoughts. Meanwhile, Baby could understand anyone's questions and Janie would read his signals and answer. The infant never grew.
- Janie painted multiple pictures per day, and Baby remembered them for her since they didn't have space to keep them. Well that's helpful! The paintings featured industrial and electronic parts.
- Lone frequently walked, thinking. They sometimes stole supplies. Gerry once tried to steal more than necessary, so Lone hit him. The teen concludes by saying they were busy and bleshing.
