Love the way each of them interprets this world differently, according to their experience, and in doing so understands different facets about it.
It makes perfect sense, that a hive-race would not understand the human propensity to keep secrets; to act at cross-purposes to other humans. So of course they assume that anything one person from our world did, all people from our world must have willed.
This bit just rings:
" the Fred-bought weight Of his old legal mantle settling Like ermine on his shoulders, weighing down."
That legal knowledge gives Gunn power, makes him a royalty of sorts, and yet it is a burden because of what it cost them all. Beautiful image.
