I'm silent for a little, thinking how best to answer Kazari's question. He's come so far in understanding us. This is complex, and I want to pitch it at the right level. "We're his family, and we always will be," I say at last. "But maybe these people are his family, too."
Maybe not that complex after all.
"Maybe when he remembers, he'll realise they're important, too, and they need him, too."
