Carlos frowned slightly at Sylvain, but in response to his question the scientist shrugged and nodded. “The town is very interesting – I honestly haven’t seen a place like it before, and I can always find myself to be very engaged in my work here.”
“And you don’t- Do they let you see your family, or no?” he asked.
Carlos was taken back by this. “My… my family?” he asked softly. He hadn’t thought about having a family before. Did he… no wait – he did have a family. His brother and his dad. They lived in Oh-ree-gone. He hadn’t spoken to them in so long… how long? Carlos’ eyebrows scrunched together and he wasn’t looking at particularly anything as he thought, trying to make sense… why had he not talked to them?
