This is a pretty fucking wild shot in the dark but...
Do you speak Latvian?

[ He pauses for a second. That's a super suspicious pause because he's an awful liar. ]
Uh, wow, why'd you ask?

[ He sighs. ]
...Yeah. I was learning it, but I haven't practiced in a long time.
[ You made him sad. ]

[...Awkwardly pats Thug on the back.]
Why'd you decide to start learning it?

[ That helps, actually. A little. ]
Someone important to me spoke Latvian. I wanted to be able to make him feel at home.

Oh yeah? [Patpat...If he keeps patting him, will he keep telling him things? Let's find out. Thank god he's easier than Starshine.]
Who was it? [Santa...?]
Who was it? [Santa...?]
[ He's so much easier than Starshine, y'all. ]

Yes, seriously!!
[ Wow, he's offended you doubt him, Shintaro!! ]
Is that all you came to talk to me about? What made you ask, anyway?

Because there's Latvian stuff in this place, actually.
You probably already knew that though, didn't you?

...Oh. You found some of my books, huh?
Guess I sorta lost track of those.

[No...But.]
Yeah. What kind of books are they? Can't tell, because, y'know, Latvian.

Oh, I used to have a lot of 'em, but I think they're probably all gone by now.
I'm surprised you even found one.

If the books and stuff are here, does that mean your son used to be here, too?
No.
[ He shakes his head vehemently. ]
God, no. That would be... that would be awful! I would never want him to wind up stuck here, too.

What's up with the Latvian Kids First Aid Kit, then? Seems like it must've been for him, yeah?
This place pulls in stuff for everybody, you know? It's not just you guys.
Those are things from home. I used to get presents from Santa too.

You used to get things under the tree, the way we do now?
Yeah, exactly. It's been a while though, so we mostly lost track of that stuff.

I hadn't thought about my son in a long time. I hope he's doing okay.

I miss my family too.
How long has it been since you've seen him?

I don't know. I really don't. We've been here for so long...
