I was vexed that Aldus put me in this situation only to perform a test.
I remembered that for Aldus, I am a successful experiment of reviving the dead.
Aldus says that I am his daughter, but the only thing he cares about are tests and results, and there is a high probability that once tests are exhausted and he collects all the data, I will not be interesting, and he will discard me. After all, it seems that my own family does not care about me. Why would he?
Where would I go? Even if I have boatloads of money, I have no place where I would go. Sure, there is London, but as much as I am curious to find out what kind of life I left behind, I am fairly confident that going there will bring me heartbreak. Aldus is my home now, and if he abandons me, I would be no better than that dirty puppy I saw in the alley at the fair.
