[ Amos shakes his head. ]

You're definitely not like her. She doesn't have a pulse. It's like... she's in stasis, almost. Something like that.

[ It's not exactly the right time to tell Alex how he knows. But he knows. ]

We can check if you want, man. But I think your blood's running through your veins. I think you're entirely alive. I don't know what happened, but right now? Right now, this is you.

[ He lets out a breath. Stasis. Whatever the hell that means. ]

I'll - I'll talk to 'er.

[ He swallows, nodding, not so much because he fully believes what Amos is saying so much as that he needs to believe it. ]

I feel like me.

[ He took a breath, then met Amos' eye and held his gaze, firmly. ]

But I need you to promise me somethin'.

[tumang]

[ Amos takes a breath. He knows exactly what Alex is about to ask, and he doesn't want to say yes, but he knows he'll do it. He knows. ]

Yeah. Yeah, if you turn into something... else - I'll take care of it.

[ The relief washes through him, leaving him tired in its wake. It should bother him, that Amos's assurance makes him feel better. But it doesn't. He knows he can trust Amos, with this. Knows that unlike Naomi, or Prax, or probably even Bobbie - he won't hesitate. ]

Before I - Before anyone else gets hurt, alright?

[tumang]

[ Amos nods. ]

Yeah. Before anyone else gets hurt.

... Thanks, brother.

[ And however morbid it may be - he really is. ]
