"It's complicated. It's been going on for a couple of months now, I was one of the first ones to get a number and get on this network thing. It works on anything, you know," he adds. "Phones, paper, chalkboards, dirt, whatever you put your number into attaches to the network. Nobody but somebody else with a number can see it or hear it, from what we can tell, which is weird. But the network's not all of it."

He pauses to sigh and put his thoughts into order, before getting to the important, and potentially scary, part. "There's these visions, or memories, or something-- not sure where they come from-- and sometimes things. That bracelet I found in your mum's things, pretty sure that wasn't actually hers, it's from this. And sometimes we change. There's a girl with cat eyes now, and a guy with sharp teeth, and I can smell things as well as a bloodhound might."
