Nicholas is not letting go of Livio's hand, and his eyes are looking for things they may take, but his mind is also now spinning. What if Miss Melanie says that the kids would be too frightened? And he couldn't stay with them?
Or, perhaps, the kids there now wouldn't know him at all.
For some reason, that thought is both sad and soothing. He'd get to know the ones there now, then. It was always like that, some kids would go, adopted or grown up, and new ones would come in.
But if they don't know him from when he was this age, he can't upset them.
