Elliot raised an eyebrow in front of the Difference Engine.
He had not been controlling Evan.
And besides...
Elliot picked up a Card from the table:
[Evan De Sterling]
This was Evan's current Card.
It had neither the suffix "Corpse" nor the prefix "Believer." It was exactly as Evan had been before.
"So he's really recovered completely?"
Elliot looked at the dialogue box, where the Brass Dial was forming lines of text.
