PICKED - CANON the legible capital letters on the cave wall, the cloned children and the non-physical blue luminescence are all gone - a single crouched child cutting a hard overworked gouged cluster with stone dust thrown from the grooves

PICKED - CANON the rune-like sigils printed on the garment and the pointed-ear leak are both gone - the crossed non-linguistic mark is the subject, the child's hand laid flat beside it and his head bowed to it
