Isaac, Harper, and Ezra put their helmets back on and continued extracting my memories.
I heard many voices in my drowsy state.
They were mocking me: “Bunny Lady, Bunny Lady, by her hair, across the ground she’s dragged; Bunny Lady, Bunny Lady, soft and fair, each night she’s wracked.”

They mocked: “Bunny Lady, Bunny Lady, by her hair, across the ground she’s dragged; Bunny Lady, Bunny Lady, soft and fair, each night she’s wracked.”
What a perfect rhyme!
