No. 04 · Cluster Neckton (the Woog)
In the group: The connector. Cluster can’t look at two things without explaining how they’re secretly related. That’s how a soup ladle and Dwayne’s second cousin once ended up in the same sentence.
At supper club: Arrives early to rearrange the seating “for conversational reasons.” Nobody has ever asked what the reasons are.
Juicy tidbit: Cluster keeps a string diagram showing how every object on every Ware connects to every other object. Last spring a piece of the string went missing. It’s on a necklace now.
When the box of broken necklaces came out of that old Elibom house, everyone else saw twenty-nine tangles. Cluster saw twenty-nine conversations waiting to happen. Fourteen months in, Cluster can tell you who added what, who argued about it, and why the two arguments are related.
