"Dr. Graham – excuse me, Subject G – has a rapid regenerative factor several times faster than what Godzilla has demonstrated.

But their death is more like a caterpillar's metamorphosis— They shrink, yet continue to exist— capable of movement and speech— even though dead— As Jevik is now!"

Wit: Perhaps a story for a child. I will tell you one, to get you in the mood. A bunny rabbit and a chick went frolicking in the grass together on a sunny day.
Kaladin: A chick... baby chicken? And a what?
Wit: Ah, forgot myself for a moment. Sorry. Let me make it more appropriate for you. A piece of wet slime and a disgusting crab thing with seventeen legs slunk across the rocks together on an insufferably rainy day. Is that better?
Kaladin: I suppose.
