Summary
To adapt was to survive.
For almost his entire life, Pip had it down to a science. He didn't know how old he was anymore, didn't believe he was human anymore, didn't allow himself to trust anymore, but he knew how to adapt. He could lie, run, hide, kill, persuade, pretend, steal, whatever it took to stay alive. There was a rhythm to it and he knew it by heart.
He didn't realize that he'd been running off of assumptions until his tactics began to fail him, until those around him stopped acting like he anticipated. Still, he needed to adapt, no matter how shaken he became. To adapt was to survive. To falter was to die.
As it turned out, there was a lot more to life than that.
