"Charles let a strange expression settle on his face. Neither a smile nor a frown. It was the kind of expression that speaks of acceptance, of the end of resistance. He made a movement that looked as if he was scratching the back of his neck. Gradually the skin around his lips seemed to loosen. The folds of skin on his neck draped forward like a woman letting a silk nightdress slide to the floor. The shifting of his skin was accompanied by the most odd noise; the sound of wet tissue paper being folded. Very quiet, very soft. The skin on his head flopped forwards onto his chest. With imperceptible movements behind his back Charles continued to ripple his skin away from his body so that after a few moments it fell in rivulets from his waist. Still it continued to cascade away from him, the sound of faint tearing joined now by sighs of almost sensual pleasure. Chris realised the sounds were coming from both Charles and Marissa. As the skin finally peeled from the torso and dropped obscenely without a sound to the floor Chris was astounded when what had been his brother bent casually, picked it up like a discarded towel, and hung it from a hook on the wall."
