Notes: Here's an idea. You know that aura-capturing tech Atlas made? Well, maybe some runaway kid with no connections and dreams of being a huntsman got roped into being a test subject in some clandestine aura-related experiments. In exchange, he got either a one-of-a-kind weaponized violin, or a boatload of cash. Ever since, his aura's been a lot weaker. Seems he literally sold his soul. Of course, he's not stupid enough to go blabbing about it

Oh nononono.

He already sounds rather edgy with the whole ruining his life because of unconfirmed suspicions, but the literal selling of a soul seems like a bad idea, and even if the people there were willing to risk a young kid with some decent skills and talent both combat related and otherwise, they would keep him close, under supervision. They wouldn't risk him blabbing, and he would.

Also, why waste a semi-promising kid and risk exposure, when the loop could kept much tighter, with minimal losses to society, by experimenting on prisoners or the people who fell through the  cracks like the homeless?

Also, one of the leading theories is that Penny's donor was dying, in a coma, or something like that.
