Talos? [Komaeda looks surprised.] I suppose that means her shinki is cooperating with us...or talking to someone, at least. [He tilts his head.] I haven't heard anything about what her shinki has had to say...in fact, I don't even know what's happened to that shinki. I nearly passed out after that battle, I'm afraid...perhaps you could fill me in?

I'm sorry for derailing the conversation with such a selfish request...but it seems like we don't know enough to come to any solid conclusions about the other things in any case...
