You received my answer on your own entry, I trust, but just in case. I didn't realise you'd asked me here, as well.
The boy is healing. He suffered a broken arm, which he allowed me to work on this morning. As he always does, he has stuffed last night's ordeal deep inside and will show none of its horror to anyone else. I worry what the longterm effects on his personality will be: this is, of course, how monsters beget monsters. I hate even to admit that thought, but honestly, the boy is very deeply damaged. And the fact that he works so fiercely to hide it is as much a cause for worry any of the rest.
