LU 33 - Dr. Thornberry 8

Thornberry collects his thoughts after watching all that go down. But he was interested in the seeds he had collected. What does he do with them? So, he decided to plant them. As soon as he did, there was chanting and a head resembling Echo's started growing from the ground. Thorn tripped backwards and watched as Echo grew a torso and limbs. They then started crying out for their mommy and daddy, to which Thorn laughed a bit. Eventually this "child mindset" Echo came up to Thorn. Thorn was annoyed, but took Echo to Spawn. Here, Echo started talking about the Efflorescene when looking at the beacons. Thorn told them that there was no such thing as the Efflorscene. As this kept going on, Thorn realized that Echo was cycling through four different memories throughout their life. Every time he said something about the Efflorescene being bullshit, they would blank and fast forward in age. Taking advantage if this, Thorn waited until Echo went back into their childlike mindset and led them to his lab. Once they entered, he quickly locked the doors behind him and shoved Echo in a cage. Echo tried to attack Thorn with vines but Thorn kept dodging the attacks. "Where are my parents" Thorn answered by telling Echo to watch his demonstration and count after him. He dug himself down into the ground, counting every time he dug. 
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6." 
He looks up at Echo. "6 feet. Under the ground." Echo starts crying as Thornberry laughs at the sight in upmost delight. After a few minutes he leaves them there to drown in their sorrows.
