Agreed. Amazing last line.

Great job dropping us into the middle of a sci-fi situation in a very personal and human way. And yeah, great set-up for a killer last line, not only surprising but so very teenager of the kid to say.

“And why do they even need those huge antennae”
Well, you know what they say about the size of an alien’s antennae…

“Just show me one Herminerm who can even pick up on something that’s right in front of him!â€?
Antennae don’t have to detect anything, they could just be an evolutionary hangover, or they could act as another set of hands.

I really enjoyted this.

Sounds like these Herminerm have quite a lot in common with the stereotypical female homo sapiens’ view of the male homo sapiens…
