hey so it’s well know that Tim was good-looking and didn’t really have any friends outside of the Institute, right? after Sasha died he didn’t have anyone, i don’t think? and we have no idea how old Elias was, but he worked at the Institute either in the 90’s or the 70’s, which means he must have been at least 50? which means Jonah would have been due for a new body sometime soon? and Elias was picked because he didn’t really have anyone who would notice if he started acting differently, right?
