Clopin has spent all day hiding from the Drone. He thought she was pretty, when he first met her. After the first five minutes, he thought she was trying too hard to be perfect. After about ten minutes, he realized there was nothing beneath the surface. She was a beautiful blonde automaton, operating only how she was expected to, and nothing more.
When he came home from a full day of exploring, he found a catalog book. Flipping through it, he found a list. The pictures were framed tastefully, with patterns to enhance their appeal, but the objects themselves were familiar.
[Clopin's Catalog List:
15 box tops: Earring
20 box tops: Hat
30 box tops: Gloves
40 box tops: Mask
50 box tops: Puppet
70 box tops: Scythe]
Clopin closes the book, goes outside, and climbs up the side of the house to sit on the roof. He needs altitude to think.
