When Lenz's hybrids menace him in the first arc, he assumes they're a special effects prank and remains oblivious to everything that's going on. His only interaction with the other Destines is when Cuckoo's astral form visits just after the first arc ends - which provides Will (and the readers) with an {{Infodump}} explaining everything that's already happened.
