@cryptogee yes there are people like Malcraft who seek to communicate through shared pain. They seek to make their enemies see how much they hurt through inflicting pain on them. It is sadistic but it is the truth. Malcraft is mentally unstable.

I am glad that a level of trust has been achieved between Jemima and K-Rox. It might be the difference between life and death as well as K-Rox completing his mission.
