Abraham:"Looking at all the dead people?" Aiden:"It says here they're missing." Abraham:"Same difference. They never find them anyway." Aiden:"Then why the board?" Abraham:"It's been 15 years... many peopel disappeared back then. My neighbor lost his two kids. But - life goes on. Except... Nobody has the courage to take those photographs down. But it's hopeless. Since there are no Nightrunners, the search always ends the same."
Aiden:"(Ask about Mia) Have you heard of kids who were in the GRE tests?"
Abraham:"And who wasn't in the tests? The young, the old, the blind, the deaf... Everyone came to find a vaccine. Some for cash. Others, to cheat destiny and not get infected... But that was the devil's bargain of Villedor: walled in with the plague but given the chance to be the ones who gave the cure to the world. Well, the virus won. The study was eventually discontinued. And the children? Officially, no one tested on children. Human rights and other crap..."
Aiden:"And unofficially?"
Abraham:"And unofficially... apparently some of the kids were taken out of the city... The rest? They just scattered around the city... abandoned. If the infected didn't get to them, then hunger... or darkness... did."
Aiden:"(Ask about the Nightrunners) Those Nightrunners... tell me about them."
Abraham:"What's there to say? Nearly all of them are dead. When they were around, they were the only ones not afraid to go out at night. They rescued those who didn't manage to get to a shelter. But of the entire group, only a few survived... including Frank. Their former commander. Once upon a time, he was great. Now he drinks himself into a stupor at his place in the Central Loop. Hard to say how much longer he'll be around."
Aiden:"(When did this happen?) When did all this happen?"
Abraham:"A long time ago. Looking at you... you were still a kid yourself. Once upon a time I came across two of them. Two girls. They were five or six years old. And it looked like they hadn't eaten for a month."
Aiden:"What were their names?"
Abraham:"I don't remember. I threw some old bread and took off... because they were shaking as if they were about to turn. Red eyes, swollen veins... I don't know what they were giving them there. Those psychos from the GRE.
Aiden:"(How do I find them now?) Where are all these kids at now?"
Abraham:"After all those years? Most of them are probably dead. If someone got luckier and is still wandering around, they would probably be in the Central Loop. More Peacekeepers there. Easier to survive."
Aiden:"Someone must know more."
Abraham:"Why? The past is the past and there's no point in dredging it back up. Everyone has their own problems... here and now, Pilgrim. Everyone fights for themselves."
