“Hey, Kris, are you any closer to fixing that body swap thingie?” Vince asked as he nervously paced around the room while in Nell’s body.
“Maybe a little. It’s really complex; I’m not sure I can fix it,” Kris said while examining the various pieces of the device still shattered on the ground.
“I mean, come on, you’re like the biggest egghead here!”
“But I’m a physicist! Not an electrical engineer! You might as well be asking a dentist to do brain surgery! If Luca would help...”
“You know damn well he isn’t going to help. He was the one who smashed the thing after he ended up in Emma’s body.”
“And Ksenia made it clear that she has no interest in swapping back with me either, so I’m probably going to be stuck in her body going forward no matter what. Essenially, I’m just fixing this thing so you and Nell can get back to normal because the rest of us certainly aren’t...IF I can fix this thing at all.”
“I appreciate you trying,” Nell said timidly from inside Vince’s body on the couch.
Kris sighed. He knew he was doing this for Nell. She didn’t deserve to be stuck in the body of a jerk like Vince, and she certainly didn’t deserve to have someone like Vince in her body.
