When I saw pic of the boy ‘blessing’ people, I started to think, this kid will decide to keep the tail. If the tail goes, so does his fame and any status in the caste. He’ll be just another runty kid who steals fruit in the summer.
he believes the Tail gives em Power...and in a sense it does. The superstititous dopes who bow to him ae drawn to his strangeness and percieved power
Nope... no way will he choose to become a normal kid at this point..after experiencing the power his MYSTIQUE has over the naive masses
