Aden is still for a moment and then strides across the room, back towards me. When he gets to the lounge he grabs me by the elbow, pulling me to my feet, shaking me so that I pay attention to his words. "Brooklyn, you little fool, don't you know who you are?" His voice is angry, as if frustrated by my incompetence.

"I'm-I'm-" My face is lost in confusion. I just told him who I am...

"Who you are, Brooklyn. Haven't you ever asked any questions about your mother? Your biological father?" He shakes my arm again as if trying to jog my memory.
