Summary
He can’t afford not to trust Nine. Without Nine, who is there? What is there? What can he do, except wander aimlessly, susceptible to any other critters that he stumbles across without the knowledge to save himself? No matter how angry he is, no matter how terrified, no matter how hurt, he just has to keep listening, or he’s boned. He’s smart enough to know that Nine wouldn’t willingly lead him to his death, when it had brought him this far, when it was so eager to be “helped”, whatever that meant. Maybe that’s why he’s so happy to let Nine do all the decision making. It’s easier, when he knows his own thoughts often lead to nothing but dead-ends and pointless hypotheticals, whereas Nine’s usually lead to concrete results. If he just keeps following it’s directions, it’ll lead to something, which is better than nothing, and better than death.
<IX> do you want to talk.
...That's new.
Slowly but surely, Barron is cracking. Everything is crumbling through his fingers, and after Buddy, he is terrified that Nine will be the next to go. Meanwhile, Nine cares a little more than it lets on.
