Mombaso Monologue

Mommy!

We were so worried.

Hello, Mom. Welcome back!

- Doctor, how is she doing?
- Considering what she's been through, so far...

pretty good.
But there's still a long way to go.

It'll take time for the brain to heal.
There could be side effects.

Meaning?

Mrs Mabaso is experiencing cognitive deficits.

She's having trouble recalling the names of things, even basic objects.

- It'll get better though, right?
- It's hard to predict with this kind of injury...

but yes, over time, she'll improve.

Is that the only issue or...

She's also experiencing neurological symptoms...

hand tremor...

leg twitching...

I don't want him to reel me in again.

- And that's what will happen if I stay.
- Where will you go?

There's a hacker conference coming up in Russia. I'll start there.

- In Russia?
- I've been living in limbo for too long.

Without any idea of what I want or where I'm going.

I thought finding my father would help me find direction...

but...

You shouldn't be on your own.
You need family and friends around you.

I need to make a clean break...

figure out who I really am and what I want from life.

And the Diales?

I'll come up with a story.

They can't know the truth.
You have to cover for
