They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.
And then suddenly he isn't.

Yeah. She takes another bite of her lunch and then goes to scrape the rest into the waste teleporter. I'm going to head out.
Keeping busy always helps. And after a while - Can you tell me about the oath? This doesn't really need my full attention, and I've been wondering.
Yes. They swore to kill anyone who withholds a Silmaril from them, and to be damned to the Everlasting Darkness if they fail at that.
Things in the hands of the Enemy. Hopefully they will stay in the hands of the Enemy until my cousins retrieve them.
And then I can figure out some really good spells to put on them so they can't be taken again, yeah.
How does that work out to keeping them alive?
You can't turn your back on an oath to do something like that. They can risk their lives trying to achieve it but I don't expect they'll be able to die of grief.
It can, but it'd be back in force as soon as you figured it out, and it wouldn't take much to trigger figuring it out. Why? Are you worried Maitimo's sworn something and forgotten?
...the Enemy took a lot of their memories, I'd assumed they'd told you that. I don't know which ones, but I know they're missing a lot of things about their family - not everything, but -
He'd have to pretty much have erased everything in the years leading up to Angband to get that, it was a strongly phrased oath and pulled on them a lot.
