[ A lot has been bugging him about their time spent down in Aetós' zoo, but nothing more than seeing Adelfoúla get murdered right in front of them, and him being helpless to do anything about it. Amos doesn't give a shit what anyone else says or insinuates; that was a child he watched die, and that shit's unacceptable.
And in the immediate chaos afterwards, two of them had rushed up to see if there was anything they could to do help — him, and someone else he already had found a growing respect for.
So after. After they're all out of there, after he's had a night to sleep on it, turn over every little detail in his head, he reaches out to Claude.
And, without preamble: ] She's alive. The girl. I don't know how, but...
[ Amos' voice trails off before giving up and simply transmitting the memory of what he saw and experienced to Claude, to the best of his recollection:
While the room is small, there’s what amounts to a closet where they’ll find various (macabre) equipment like syringes, bonesaws, etc., but also… Adelfoúla, or what seems to be an exact copy of her. She doesn’t move or react to them opening the door in the slightest, but examining the area where she had “broken” earlier will reveal a tiny fragment of what looks like a shard. It’s far from the size one would have come to expect from shards, and almost seems to have been cleaved from a larger stone. There’s a slight glimmer to the shard that he could recognize as being “alive”, essentially, but that her consciousness just didn’t seem to be present.
And upon attempting to commune with her, Adelfoula’s voice responding with a feeling of being distinctly surprised and a “You found one?” but no more than that.
It just.
Really seemed like something Claude should know. ]
