[Funny, how it's Teddy's name that finally breaks through the fog- not his mother's tearful welcome or his father's careful questions, but Teddy. Then again, it also makes sense- Teddy's been his only family, his sole supporter, for a long time now, even if he's the only one who remembers it. He lifts his head, startled by the words.

He's genuinely startled by the sudden panic, moving before he can even think about it- wriggling free of the arms of his parents and reaching out to grasp at Teddy's sleeve like a desperate child. His voice is shaky as he speaks up, hesitant- he doesn't understand why Teddy would leave, where he's going, why, don't go, don't leave me-]
