[This is a daily struggle for her and his question is met with silence. She knows. She hopes. Both are there and they typically sorta merge into some weird hybrid emotion where she knows he's here because he has to be.

But it makes her wonder-how could he not understand that? How does he not get that the person that saves you holds a special place in your heart? Surely someone helped him escape from the lab, from the doctors-it's not a place you leave without help. Without someone to guide you away.

And so her answer comes out strange-a question in its own right.

Someone saved you from that scary place you grew up-that's how we can be free now.

[Because he's an adult. Already at an age she knows she'll never reach. Maybe that's because someone saved him when he was young. Maybe he doesn't understand what it's like to know, because he already has that. Doesn't understand why she needs to know he's here.

And it's almost nice, to speak with someone so openly about this. Because he understands so much to begin with.
