Patch is about to take a little bit of a shot in the dark, but she wonders why it is that Cole makes these connections now, if it's all to do with her, or a little bit to do with him. "Is that familiar to you? To Cole? Was one of the people who hurt him someone who should have been protecting him?"

It's not entirely unlike talking to a child, and Patch doesn't think that with even the slightest trace of negativity. Children see the world in a very plain and straightforward way, they remind her of things she's forgotten, that she can't see any more. There's something wonderfully uncomplicated about talking with children, even if it can be confusing at times.
