We see from this moment his slow process of re-socialization under the tutelage of another character whose first quest will be to find her identity, her back to her family laccepter wrong and try to rebuild it on an imperfect fashion necessarily.

His rescuer understood that his mission was a failure, it makes unknowingly anthropology are the bases
