It didn't almost-- [Or did it? Hermann seems to have hit the nail on the head with that one. He has a brief flash of Lightcap in his mind, like a connection of similar ideas, and--
No. No, that is impossible. That is... Not Hermann. But if anyone could have, with Newt--but no, why would...he didn't... He looks over at Hermann's quiet profile, and feels a swell of emotion starting in his gut and chest. Hermann cared about him that much as to risk his own life to--
He can't shake the idea of Lightcap, of D'onofrio, of what the press said about their relationship...and Newt thinks of the NYE video Joaquin showed him, and the conversation and Newt's yearning just to see Hermann. Even if it wasn't a romantic gesture, the Drift, it was terribly romantic, terribly loving in a way that went beyond both friendship and romance--
Why? he wants to ask, knowing Hermann himself doesn't know. Or does he, even now, years before the event? Why me? and Thank you.
He's been too quiet, gawking at Hermann, and Newt tries to say something, spew out some science, just to get himself off the thought that was the most beautiful thing anyone has ever done for me, and I don't even remember it.]
Do you think we... Do you think a Jaeger slapped a pons on one of them and we--? No, that's ridiculous. That's really absurd, although, maybe if we could attach something we could control one and--
There's no way, though, I mean, a Jaeger is just a vessel for the two brains, but the Kaiju--that's like trying to mindcontrol. We have no idea what their brains are like, what they think; that's territory I can't even begin to guess at, their compulsions, their instincts--we couldn't be Drift compatible with a Kaiju...!
