She hopes she didn't commit some sort of social gaffe by asking Ghost her questions, but she didn't want to leave him out of the conversation. "I never liked having a nickname, either," Adia says. "But you're able to tell one another apart, right?"
She cringes visibly at their reaction, even though she knows that they aren't blaming her. Still, it's hard not to take responsibility for all of humanity when there are so few of them left. "It's more complicated than that," she says, a touch defensive. "Many people lost their vaccination records when the colonies were destroyed. Their biggest concerns now are getting enough food to eat and keeping their shelter from collapsing in a heavy rain. We try to run as many clinics as we can, but it's difficult to get to everyone."
