Oh--she's great. [ kind of awkwardly, but, it's true, thomas already likes jem a lot.
he is incredibly thankful for kieren's existence right now, because he actually answered all of his questions--that literally never happens to thomas--and he takes in everything he's saying like a sponge, trying to commend it all to memory. the fact that in an alternate universe, there's some kind of cure for something just like the flare...
(he's still trying not to think of newt. that this guy looks like him, sounds like him. that maybe the medicine could bring his dead best friend back to life. he doesn't want to know what newt would look like with the bullet hole in his brain.) ] I see...thank you. So it took a long time for treatment--are you still taking it here?
[ however, the questions stop as he talks about a cure. "you've got to keep trying". wasn't that what WICKED was all about? over and over, they said they had a cure, lied to thomas and the rest that everything would be okay, that their infected friends would be just fine. WICKED is good, they'd said, because WICKED was the only place trying to find a cure. but by doing so, they'd harmed thousands, caused the Flare in the first place, and killed so many of the people that Thomas cared about, imagining them actually finding a cure was almost laughable.
their "solution" had been an uninfected area for munies. some kind of paradise. he frowns, and it's obvious, looking down at the ground for a moment as he responds to kieren properly. ] Would you still want the cure if the only way to get it was to kill people who didn't deserve it?
[ talk about a heavy question. he does explain himself, a beat later, actually looking at the camera again. ] It's complicated, at home.
