The Core is a reeling combination of fame and disaster, and no one knows better than Toby how hard it is to hide one's true identity. His challenges aren't lost on Willow. She's struggling with a strange new facet of her own identity, and while she doesn't trust Toby's mysterious agenda, part of her admires his resilience. He's playing the Core's game with a stealth she has yet to learn, and for some reason, he's chosen not to reveal her secret. And she won't reveal any of his. It's an extremely dangerous move, but she's making it. Like Fenn said, this city is a chessboard.
The childhood of a Core officer isn't an easy one. Reece said as much to Willow, but what he failed to mention are the numerous side effects that result from gene therapy. Unnaturally light blue eyes and the inability to lie only scratch the surface. A darker, more lurid potential lurks beneath the psyche of anyone who undergoes genetic enhancement. Mimic hints at this frightening potential, leaving Willow to wonder if Kristoffe is commander, man . . . or something much, much worse.
Gambit is secretive about Duncan's tormented past. He's portrayed as an open, honest security guard whose primary role is looking out for Willow's safety. Mimic draws him a little bit out of the shadows. He's distant, but willing to open up when he sees that she's struggling with the same issues that turned his own life upside down.
