Ryan is likely the first or middle name of Thrasher. There was another group, though. I’d known Jadis and Malachi since childhood, and met Ryan and Romeo on a few occasions, when their parents dragged them down to Karedonia or Dad brought me on a trip. The rest I had come to know here at Whateley. It took a lot to give them a peek at my innermost dreams, at the tender crush of my boyish heart. Carefully I unrolled the visualization. Jobe goes on to show his 'Drow' to the Bad Seeds, so Ryan is a Seed.
