The cause returns
This was a problem, from the few conversations Truedream had with Malik so far, he could tell that his mind was somewhat child-like. If not that, he was heavily dependent on Jim for everything. More on the borderline of obsessed with him.
'Man, I'm jealous to have someone this obsessed with you. I wonder how he did it?' Truedream thought. 'I was hoping the clone would be enough, but I guess not. His power is also too strong to utilise. If we run into just a single Dalki as well, he could change their memory to help us. Our chance of escape relies on him. I'm useless without other people, but that's why I'm the best at gathering people around me.'
"I actually agree with him." The clone surprisingly added. "I was created a long time ago, when the lab first started. My knowledge of everything Jim has done, and the knowledge of what is going on out there, is limited."
