Quote #10

Thomas screamed before he knew what he was doing. He screamed and screamed and screamed until it finally woke him up. (64.18)

This episode happens right after Thomas dreams of Brenda talking to him telepathically. We're startled because we can't tell if it was just Thomas hallucinating, or if this actually happened. Maybe Thomas has caught the Flare, and he's going cray-cray himself; or maybe Brenda isn't just some random Crank who wants to chew off her fingers and kill people?
