During this period, Saphen's condition showed improvement. Although most of the time he still focused on things somewhere far away, when someone spoke to him, he was finally willing to respond, sometimes even replying.
Cain, meanwhile, was forced to go to kindergarten. And going to kindergarten meant that the time he could spend with Saphen would be greatly reduced, with only a little time left in the evenings.
