I see. [Were there others like that who had been similarly twisted to fit shapes that suited the Regent? But then, the Kenoma's creeping influence, its whispers of despair and the end, were corrosive of the mind all on their own, even if the results are less drastic in the short term. Only now when Barnaby is trying to prise himself free of it is he truly becoming aware of that fact.]

He was assigned to Godsblood to participate in securing the execution. [So he's quite literally out of reach for the time being, too, at least for any Pleroma here in Venera.] I'm afraid I don't know him well enough to even begin to understand how to help him. But if there's a way to remind him why he wanted to resist the Kenoma in the first place, then maybe...

[Based on Barnaby's own experiences, he thinks something like that could hold the key.]
