The question surprises him, mostly because the other people he told the names of the wolves too were mostly family. Allison and Vanya seemed to think it was weird but sweet....Five was less supportive but that's sort of their whole dynamic.

"Grace was my mom's name."

And it's as simple as that for him. She may have been made of wires and casing instead of flesh and blood but she had been more loving and supportive than the man who made her, the one who adopted seven children as an experiment, ever was.

"I honestly couldn't think of five names....so it was easier just to name them all after her."
