[Well, this bears good news indeed. From what he's seeing so far, memories may or may not be an issue. But "Romaeus's" (he still wasn't used to that name, honestly) warning does leave room for concern in the boy.]

Um, I have a question. You say we might be going home soon, but what about, uh... the things we've gained here so far during our stay?

[Rudy pauses, hesitant in his speech. Even now, he really doesn't want to say more than he has to.]

Like memories, things we've learned, physical changes, or, um... other things along that line. Would we return as we were before we arrived, or would we just go back as-is?
