Eventually, Amos leaned slightly toward West. "…Your awakening."
West glanced at him. "…What about it?"
Amos adjusted his glasses. "Was there a trigger? Something that caused it? A catalyst?"
West's expression remained neutral. "…It just happened."
Amos frowned slightly. "Hmm, I started conducting this research because I wanted to help people obtain a shred of power that awakeners have. I've tried as much as possible to gather all I can on awakeners and you all seem to tell me the same thing as regards to your awakening..."
West shrugged. "I guess that's all there is to it. People don't choose to awaken, you know? It just happens to them..."
Amos didn't press further but his curiosity about the matter lingered.
Of course, West couldn't tell him he didn't actually awakened naturally... he could never tell anyone.

The flight was supposed to be last an hour... but thirty minutes in, West stood.
"I'll be back."
