That the Innocence will eventually return Zenos, for his part, considers inevitable (or did, before they felt the full force of the Regent's destructive power, which complicates matters more than a little); it is, to all in intents and purposes, a more powerful Eikon, and all those have ever required to reform is a devout believer and a font of aether. But for the time being it is gone, and that at least is uncomplicatedly to his benefit, given the changes it forced upon him before. Glory Be Kenoma, etcetera.

(It's everything else that he's still figuring out)

And apparently Matt contributed, or tried to contribute, to that uncomplicated good. Presumably it did something, if the limb is still missing; those digits he'd lost himself, shattered into chalky powder resisting the Innocent's attempted transformation, have long since grown back (not an experience he particularly wishes to repeat, but useful information to have given how often he intends to cross blades with the Pleroma). The conviction is impressive, as is the directness of Matt's answer; the both combined earn a slight eyebrow raise of something-like-admiration.

"Is that why you're here?" he asks. Matt does not seem the sort to revel in suffering, especially if what the Innocent did moved him to such measures.
