:This whole scene looks like Avatar and his wife received a rather exceptional treatment after the let's-say-shockwave (hospitalization? a whole team of medics? a separate room? normal recovery period, with visits and such? everything nice and clean?) | :This whole scene looks like Avatar (and his wife if she died at the hospital) received a rather exceptional treatment after the let's-say-shockwave (hospitalization? a whole team of medics? a separate room? normal recovery period, with visits and such? everything nice and clean?) | ||
:OK, he's a big boss, and she's pregnant, but what about the few hundred (equally rich?) people who were sleeping in the same building as the couple, and in the buildings next to it? | :OK, he's a big boss, and she's pregnant, but what about the few hundred (equally rich?) people who were sleeping in the same building as the couple, and in the buildings next to it? | ||
:My impression is that the cataclysm was an unprecedented meltdown : the medics were dramatically outnumbered (''even if'' they only tended to the elite).

:I'd say big bosses such as Avatar could only be rescued by private means (e.g. [[BGI]] employees operating BGI paramilitary vehicles, summoned and coordinated by Avatar's secretary, or something). | |||
:The rescuing operation may have taken quite some time, so there's a good chance Simone was already dead (and Avatar very nearly dead) when they dug up the couple. | |||
:Then Avatar gets his convalescence (it makes sense not to place him in a hospital, but have him recover at BGI) | |||
:As he "thaws off", he exhibits a disturbing delirium-like state : he's been frozen in the very state of someone who's losing his sister soul and family, and keeps reliving the loss of his wife again and again. Even though he lived through, doctors and colleagues fear they may have lost him. | |||
:And then all of a sudden he gets back in focus. Correct? | |||
