Feel like yapping a lil about 2011 Adam so yeah.
I think he is extremely hostile toward anything that moves, animals, humans, and even alternates. The area surrounding his crackhouse is littered with the remains of various dead things.
Gabriel, Six, or some other high ranking alt was probably like "Hey we haven't heard from Adam in a while, could someone go check up on him? Just to see if he's doing what he's meant to" and the poor sap they sent out came back in pieces.
The crackhouse itself probably became a local legend kind of thing in Mandela. A sort of "Hey don't go down there you will die horribly" kind of story.
Also given how the BPS van was at the crackhouse, do y'all think after Adam ran away from Thatcher he immediately went to the van, or was he just roaming around for a bit, found the crackhouse and then brought the van there?
(Which came first the crackhouse or the van? /hj)
Idrk where to place this hc but: I also think the reason he is so tall in 2011 is he is running off the same logic that some animals go by when they feel threatened which is "Need to look big in order to be intimidating."
