Ask him what he's going to do now
From Create Your Own Story
"So, what's going to become of you now?" you ask "I mean....." you lapse into silence.
He shrugs. "I don't know. I haven't given it much thought. I'll stay here for a while, I think."
"You're not coming back to the states then?"
He looks at you, startled. "I can't just go wherever I want to. It's more complicated than that." He finishes vaguely.
Michael tries again. "I'm tied to this soil. Not as closely as the Baron is, but still tied to it. I have to return to this place every once in a while."
"Oh. Well that's rough." You say.
"Not like I can really go back to my old life anyways." He says.
"So that's it then?" you ask.
"Yup"
Somehow that doesn't seem a right place to end things.
