Part 7/9:
Darwin begins to relearn how to communicate and integrate himself into the family's daily life. As he engages in tasks and makes new friends, he also grapples with the reality of his vulnerability. D’s affection for him grows stronger, and a shared kiss underscores their deepening bond against the backdrop of uncertainty. However, their lives are shadowed by the lurking threat of government drones that patrol the area, searching for fugitives.
Despite the warmth of the family, Darwin is increasingly aware that harboring him places them in jeopardy. As a decision looms over him, he realizes that he must leave to protect them. In an emotional farewell, he promises Lillian and D that he will seek out his mother and bring her back to their new haven, a place of safety and connection.
