The request to speak alone is unexpected, and despite his best efforts Rezo is wary. Not enough to deny Zelgadis, however.]
Ah...? Of course. Please excuse us.
[After directing that last part to the rest of the group, Rezo obediently follows out after Zelgadis. Now, what's this about...?

You're not wrong. But if the patients could voice an opinion they might also wish to grasp any hope there is of survival, no matter how slight.
[The human survival instinct is a powerful thing, after all. Rezo's seen patients who begged for death, and he's also seen patients who clung to life with everything they were worth.]
