บท 121: Thank You For Your Cooperation

There was only one way Claire could think of potentially getting the other Numbers to leave headquarters voluntarily. It would be extremely difficult to pull off if it was even possible but…

"We would have to undo their brainwashing. I don't know if it would work for sure but it worked on you! Retraining happens to prevent people from rebelling, right? So wouldn't using the code words backward bring back every question, doubt, and memory that the Agency ever tried to wipe away?

"I think it would be more likely that they would want to leave on their own if they remembered their own reasons for rebelling in the past. They might be able to be reasoned with after snapping out of that haze of mental manipulation. They don't have to come with us but they should at least be able to make an informed choice for themselves."
