[ He doesn't need to be revealing the truth of that situation to someone he just met. It also isn't his story to tell. ] He's from further back in time than us, I don't really know him that well. You can kind of think of him like our... predecessor, I guess. [ There's technically no family connection between them, so he doesn't need to go into that. ]
