Eventually, Wilson found a place away from the others and changed.
He also used one of the buckets from Kai's Water Gift Packs to wash himself.
The first touch of clean water against his skin made him close his eyes.
He washed slowly, allowing the dirt and dried blood that had accumulated over years to finally disappear.
When he finished, he changed into the new clothes and looked down at himself.
He still looked nothing like the man he had once been…
His arms remained unnaturally long, and his body was covered in scars.
Mechanical components were still embedded in his flesh, and there were mutations he knew would never disappear.
But at least he was clean…
After that, Wilson returned to the others.
Nobody treated him differently.
Farrah was still helping the weaker survivors, while Kai continued opening more Gift Packs whenever the supplies began to run low.
There was no shortage.
