[@Peaceless], how does one look like a metaphor? :P

I can think of some obscure ways that that could make sense (e.g. since in a metaphor you usually say something is something else, you could say Renat looks to be an object when he absorbs a lot of matter), but I don't think they fit with the current situation or characters' knowledge of one another.

Oh, I meant it in a completely impersonal matter. Renat is basically a stray mutant wanting to belong - as a metaphor for all mutants feeling stray and wanting to belong. I will add more volume to the post later, to make it clearer.
