"That guy does know him from before, yes," I say, managing to repress most of the wince. I don't want Joe to go any more than these two do.
I shake my head. "Kazari. Katsumi. I love you both, and thank you. Every ounce of me is telling me that we go and sit on Joe and tell this guy that he's not here, no way, nuh-uh, but it all has to be Joe's decision. Joe was part of their lives, he doesn't remember, he can't make an informed decision until he does."
I drag the back of a hand over my eyes. I hate having to be the grownup sometimes.
