Maggie's face became somewhat heavy, her eyes slightly red, as she took a deep breath and nodded.
"It's Uncle Martin."
She identified him through the scattered clothing fragments and personal belongings around.
Gauss nodded.
He felt the chances of others surviving were slim.
Although it's a bit impolite to think so, from what Gauss had judged along the way, Maggie surviving until now had some element of luck, perhaps because the others were eaten, reducing the monsters' hunger.
And it's widely known that the majority of spiders only eat living creatures, which is why the Eit Monster keeps Eit slaves at its side — to always have something to eat nearby.
Females, being smaller compared to males, are naturally preferred by monsters to eat larger adult males first.
Maggie was just marked in advance, monitored by a slave spider to ensure she didn't leave the swamp area, so they could find her whenever hungry.
This guess is cruel, but might be very close to the truth.
