Just wondering. Seems like he has a lot of friends, from what I can tell. I was just wondering if it was just the people here.

[He smiles, a bit.]

I'm glad he has friends. Back home...well, neither of us really had many people we could consider friends. I was happy to call him my brother, but I don't know how many other people he had.

[A slight frown. They hadn't spent as much time together after their freedom as he would have liked.

And then...]

...what happened, when you went home? What part of your life did you go back to?

[A hint of worry.]
