He sighed. "Okay. Water crystals," he said to himself as if he was trying to find an easier way to make it clear. "At the end of the talk, Mr. Harder said something about a device that could measure the resonance of a substance. The Magnetic Resonance Analyzer. Do you remember that?"
I nodded.
"Well, we could say that I'm more or less the human version of that device. I can feel someone's thought by the resonance of its words in their body, their energy. Each word has a specific sound wave that with time I've learned to distinguish. But my resonate-lexis is not vast, so I receive just bits of the thought. It's like figuring out a word puzzle to formulate the general idea." He paused. "You're one of the people who I can't sense."
Holy crap, I thought. If he hadn't said I was one of the exceptions to this-which I had no clue why, but liked it very much-I would've been blazing red all over.
"How can you feel the resonance of words in a body?" I frowned.
