As Daneel saw Alex's broad back rise and fall due to the uneven landscape, he finally took a moment to think about what had just happened on the last island.

He had been sure that the Will must be dead…but somehow, the tiniest fragment of it had survived. It almost seemed as if it had done so out of pure spite, after seeing that something artificial had taken its place, and when it had gotten a chance to rise, it had taken it despite knowing that its life would end. 

There was much to learn from such a decision, but more than that, Daneel was intrigued about the new properties of a Will that he was finding out. Only someone with a conscience could think and decide on such an action. So, when put under such duress…was it possible that a Will could grow, and gain a personality of its own?
