Even with the Asset in their head, sometimes it's hard to remember. Soldat looks down at everything in their arms-- book, journal, coloring book and markers, the pills (which are getting put away and ignored)-- and says, "Keep reminding me. I don't want to go back to being the Asset again." Even the general background fear seems a little less, these days. There are enough safe places and safe people that as long as they manage things, keep to their routine, they can relax a little. That's good.
