Even now, she still wasn't sure she understood who or what the Weaver actually was. Emiliana had a vague idea that the Weaver was simply an old mutation user whose mutations had sadly debilitated her to an unrecognizable point, but it also seemed clear that there was more to her than just that. Assuming that part was even correct.

And if that were true, then the implications of it were quite incredible. For one thing, it would mean that mutations could allow for the development of telepathy.

Emiliana was a bit torn. A part of her would've liked to speak to the Weaver again and perhaps learn something more about mutation. Or telepathy. Or Agam Elroy, maybe. But another part of her wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.

Either way, it hardly mattered, because Gohvis wouldn't let her go near the Weaver without him there to chaperone, and he was barely around enough for Emiliana to even ask. Sure, she could try to go and see the Weaver on her own--without his permission--but she had a disturbing feeling that he would find out about it.

Maybe she didn't have to be so afraid of that possibility, though. He obviously cared about keeping her safe, at least for the purpose of continuing his research, so she doubted that he would hurt her.

But still. He was too terrifying. Even if he wouldn't physically harm her, Emiliana didn't wish to anger him and test how 'creative' he might become with his punishment thereafter.

All this business about Agam Elroy had turned him into a constant point of curiosity, though. Especially with regard to the idea that the Weaver had floated to her during their conversation.

The idea that she might somehow harbor Agam's memories in her mind. The idea that Agam himself had been able to remember things he had never personally done or seen before.

Emiliana had given that notion a lot of thought lately, too.
