[ he sighs, picturing the memory as he struggles to word it in a way that doesn't sound insane. ] There were a couple of kids that looked about your age, on a beach. One of them was wearing a white hoodie, and holding these two... things? I guess they were animals, buy yeah - I think one of the girls called them "lobsters". Then he started playing keep-away when she wanted to hold 'em.

[ he honestly has no idea if that makes sense or not. ]
