Transcript

Thing 1 & 2 look at each other. Thing 2 has a small wobbly tendril growing from its base.

Thing 2 grows many more tendrils.

Thing 2: I don’t know.
The tendrils grow into more elaborate shapes.

The tendrils cause Thing 2’s body to look more lattice like.
Thing 1 looks at the strange transformation. Thing 2 smiles.
