Someone that should be notified when they die in the following days? Obviously they feel abandoned but, for instance, if they had a young kid once upon a time or someone they cared for that they haven&#039;t been able to see... Or are they pretty much all in the mindset that even those people have abandoned them?&lt;div class=&quot;edittime&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Edited &lt;span class=&quot;datetime&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;comment-date-text&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span title=&quot;2025-12-04 08:26 am (reprisings&#039;s time)&quot;&gt;2025-12-05 02:26 am (local)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |DateAnswered=2025-12-05<br /> |AnswerText=Most of the defectors are of the conviction that they&#039;ve been abandoned- or are proud (bitter) about doing the abandoning themselves. No one cares about them, they don&#039;t need anyone, they know the truth, etc., it&#039;s as exhausting as it is sad. The mental deterioration due to arcane radiation isn&#039;t doing them any favors when it comes to a steady lucidity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s still possible to hit upon a moment of weakness and regret in some of them, and be given a name, some direction. They won&#039;t ask for anyone to be located, but if an Augmented were to persevere anyway...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most of the time there&#039;s nothing to find- either because no one remembers who they&#039;re talking about, or because the information they gave was incorrect, jumbled up with something else. In some cases, it&#039;s possible to get an indirect hit, locating an old neighbor, or a friend who recognizes the description. Some will pass along the news that the person has already died. Others will become defensive, upset if it&#039;s made clear on whose behalf the Augmented is looking, and refuse to connect them further. &lt;i&gt;&#039;Good riddance,&#039;&lt;/i&gt; is the common sentiment. &lt;i&gt;&#039;I hope they stay out there. Leaving is the only good thing they&#039;ve ever done.&#039;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the defectors are not, unfortunately, wrong about being alone out there. Apart from the vague &#039;community&#039; they keep outside the city, no one else would notice if they were gone.<br /> }}</div>
