That sounds... well. Like it could go either way. Maybe there are people who spliced up but didn't turn into splicers as he understands the word; hell, maybe he's even met them without knowing it. Splicing is obviously popular. And the unharmed people could be holed up around the city, or might have been killed by the crazy violent ones.

And apart from seeing the ghosts, Jack doesn't think he's had any side-effects. So if it's a case of wait-and-see... that's a good sign, right? That's a good start.

And I mean Sinclair wouldn't straight up lie about this, would he?

Jack's certainly learned that people lie, but it's hard to overcome the instinct to be trusting.

...Yeah, he's just kinda been looking at Sinclair for a fair amount of time now.
