[ He knows what it's like to wake up without knowing a number of hows and whys. He knows what it's like to be given a code and status, to be constrained by circumstances that weren't his doing, and to be sent on his way to live comfortably, so long as he complies. That's the concept that itches in the back of his throat: comply. But they know everything about him, apparently, and he has to wonder whether or not this is just the Institute, Part II, with a higher budget.
Needless to say he doesn't take it well, but he notices that the stress doesn't amplify any absorption of memories. That's a comfort, but it might not help him in the long-term, not if he wants to gain advantage and find his way out of here. So long as there isn't any medication being shoved down his throat to mute his power, though ...
His arrival at De Chima changes the tone from terrifying to disarmingly baffling. There they are: people who know what he is, but not who he is — he's not sure there's any comfort to be drawn from that — imposing themselves for a chance to have a picture of or with a potentially famous imPort. They all have potential, for better or for worse. And all these people are bursting with memories, threatening to overwhelm him both inside and outside. A couple of them approach to try and convince Jerry to try out the new invention with them — after all, there's free lunch involved! ]
N-no. Thank you. [ Does he force a smile? Does he claw out an embarrassing memory from their head to scare them away? ] Thanks.
