Adaptado

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Buenas tardes,

Ustedes podrían ayudarme a encontrar una mejor traducción que "adapted" al inglés para el adjetivo "adaptado" en la siguiente oración?

Oración: "Me recibió el fantasma de Francis, idéntico al del primer día de internamiento, pero con la mirada profunda, los ojos más verdes y adaptado perfectamente a la atmósfera de alguien con cáncer".

Contexto: este párrafo se encuentra en un cuento que trata sobre un paciente internado en un hospital y tiene cáncer.

Agradezco mucho su ayuda.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

An option. So the query sentence could be something like this:
"I was greeted by the ghost of Francis, identical to the one from the first day of internment, but with a deep gaze, greener eyes and perfectly suited to the appearance of someone with cancer."
