[BG Spoilers] A question that has been bothering me

(1/3) > >>

There is something I don't quite understand.

Toward the end of BG Harry and Lara are talking and Harry is thinking the following:
"Neither one of us liked thinking about the fact that not only had we lost Thomas; we’d failed him, too."
It is the lost Thomas part that is bothering me.  I don't remember anything happening to Thomas other than him sort of being in stasis in a cell.  The phrasing here seems to imply to me that he might be dead.  Am I reading this wrong?

Thomas is not only stuck in a cell, he's basically fatally wounded, also Justine is still possessed and his child is still in danger. Things can still be salvaged but the overall Thomas/Justine situation is looking pretty grim at the time when that line is said.

He was fatally wounded and taken to an island by a wizard where he was placed in stasis. I think I just found another argument for Thomas to wield Amoracchius.

How is that an argument? 

Bad Alias:
It's exactly what happened to King Arthur. Both King Arthur and Thomas were fatally wounded and taken to an island by a wizard where they were placed in stasis.

It's a parallel between the two characters. Such parallels can be used as foreshadowing.
