garam is speaking based on what's written in arlene's pocket. that is, arlene herself is the source. so, lets go over the facts.

per the firsthand account of arlene we have:

child was born and lived for unknown amount of time. jahad found and killed the child at an unknown age, but likely before puberty. arlene used her magic to preserve the child, to put it in some kind of stasis to keep it from decomposing arlene found a way out of the tower and offered the child to a "god" outside, and left a "prophesy" in her pocket that this "god" would revive the child and the child would come back into the tower to obtain the thorn left by "god's messenger" (is this a messenger of the same "god" she offered her child to? perhaps it prophesized like this because of some kind of deal she struck with the outside "god" she gave the child to), strike down jahad, and lead everyone to higher floors she then left the tower after leaving this diary in her pocket, which was then found by enne and then garam

then, from our protagonist's perspective:

was found sealed in a cave outside of the tower with no possible way to have survived, like at all, no food, no water, no human contact. was LEFT sealed in that cave and STILL never provided things essential to survival; his hair was quite long when he was found, so the stasis spell had been removed for some time, but some kind of power allowed him to survive without things essential to survival gets to floor 43 and it feels like he's returned home. as in, where he used to live, where he was born and raised (exactly what garam tells him based on arlene's firsthand account) has obtained part of the thorn, exactly as the child was prophesized to do; the first part was forced on him but now he's actively seeking the rest

i dunno it seems pretty clear based on the facts. but if you wont accept anything short of siu himself saying "Baam is Arlene's child" in a blog post then there really is no point in this wiki, because you're refusing to allow plot expositions inside the manhwa itself to count for anything.
