In the group: The pattern counter. Dwayne counts everything: beads, stairs, wings, and how many times Frizzie revises a story (the Month 14 record is six).
At supper club: He counts the chairs before he sits, then counts the Necks. If the numbers don’t match, nobody eats.
Juicy tidbit: He knows exactly how many spikes are in his hair. He’ll tell you. You didn’t ask.
Dwayne joined the 29 Necks partly because twenty-nine is a prime number, and he finds prime numbers trustworthy. Fourteen months in, the Wares have tested him: a lonely wing, a fish on every third necklace, and eyes turning up everywhere. He has handled it with dignity, mostly. Then this month, the swap handed him the one Ware he’d been dreading.
