Ava nods along, understands the need to isolate an observed occurrence to fully trust the results. Even if the outcome is seemingly obvious. She remembers César taking blood samples as well, not sure whatever conclusions he came to. "So what do you make of that?" Ava asks. Her own feelings toward Pal are likewise a bit mixed, but more wary than outright negative. She's told him as such before, but that doesn't mean she doesn't find him rather interesting. She's sure he has a rather valuable perspective on things. "Is there a step further you're going to take this?"

And despite the mixed feelings, despite her own sensitivity over the subject, she sighs. "My body's molecular structure is unstable. It's how I... phase. I exist in a complex quantum state, but it does a lot of damage and the older I've gotten the less capable my cells are of fully restoring themselves. I was days away from completely deteriorating into nothing..." and nothingness has always been a painfully loaded word for her, even before the newly horrific context. "But here, I'm fine. It still hurts, I'm not healed. But it doesn't get worse. Friday said something about it not being fair. But I think it's related to our being out of time. Creating that stasis. Nothing can grow either. Because there's no real progression."
