I made a new family without him. [The words slip out before Diarmuid knows it, and he actually looks a little confused about them. Where did that come from? Is it something to do with that night he can't remember? It's been a while since he tried to push himself to remember, but he does now. However, he quickly stops because there is that by now very familiar headache setting in.
The boy sighs and shifts his attention to a different topic.]
I know they took us without asking, but they are giving us a lot of chances to do things we never would have gotten to otherwise. I got to meet my hero here, and I am getting to learn about all kinds of modern stuff. Like refrigerators and electricity! [How could he have drunk the Kool-Aid? Diarmuid doesn't even know what Kool-Aid is!]
Time isn't moving back home if that helps. Besides, you said you died back home. If you leave here...
[He wants to say 'you will die again,' but he can't bring himself to do it, so Diarmuid shifts topics once more.]
They do! You don't need a lot of contact each day, but if you go longer than a week without it, any special powers you have will go crazy and you will get really sick!
