Zain's Links
Zain is one of the very few people who have seen what's in the freezers of Dr. Montag's shop and has lived. This is miraculous because Zain is not a trusted friend of Dr. Montag and the only other people who have seen what's in the freezers and have lived are trusted, friends/family members. Zain thinks Dr. Montag is a psychopath and he nearly pukes whenever he thinks about the madman and his shop. He bites his tongue when people talk good about the Dr. because even though he knows the truth, no one would believe him. Only his traveling companion, Wixie, has believed him out of the people he had told.
Zain is amusing, and a pest. Ever since the man escaped from his shop after so rudely taking a peek in Dr. Montag's freezers like he ever so specifically instructs his customers not to, Zain did. He's infuriated someone he hasn't approved of knows his secret and if he ever sees Zain again he'll be sure to finish the job, not just cut off his arm. It's kind of a prize now that he bears as a reminder also of the man he needs to kill. It helps to pass the lonely time in the shop, making Montag very giddy inside as he thinks of the many possible ways he can snuff out Zain's life if they ever meet again. He semi-hopes that obviously, Zain is smart enough not to show his face again, but he'll see. After all, the game is much more fun than the ending.
Zain cares deeply about his traveling companion, but he just wishes she was a little easier to reason with. Wix runs on pure emotions, which is usually anger, and usually gets the two into quite a bit of trouble. Zain dislikes the almost constant conflict, but he's sure he'd have that without Wix around anyways. Just look at what happened between him and Professor Montag before he and Wix met, after all. Plus, he could nor would ever leave her side no matter what. Wix saved his life, and Zain will always be grateful for that... No matter how many times he saves her life because of the reckless things she does.
Reana is a good kid, he'd hate to see her get herself killed by her own ignorance. Or especially by a particular doctor she tried to convince him of that's not as bad as he thinks. He'll make sure that whenever he runs into Reana, that she's well and good on supplies.
Reana is unsure about Zain, mostly due to the bizarre story he told about the well-liked Dr. Montag. She believes perhaps he just is mistaken- after all, the fumes of the wastelands often cause her vivid nightmares and hallucinations. She believes the same fumes might have caused Zain to imagen up a scary situation with Dr. Montag while visiting his shop.
Anyway you could describe the general uneasiness Zain feels around Marylin would be a big understatement. Marylin reminds him of a certain someone... But unlike that man, Zain can't bring himself to say a single bad word about Marylin out loud. He knows this... thing, has its eyes and ears everywhere. Only bad thoughts are thought of when thinking about this mutant, thoughts filled with fear, panic, and pure dread.
