Great part again! I also think that Clark needs to connect to something again (and another piece to the puzzle of his recovery and another will be seeing his mom again and knowing that she doesn't resent him for what the government did).
My favourite part was:
Mustiness had replaced the aromas of his mom's cooking.
Staleness had replaced the clean country air.
Neglect had replaced the loving maintenance.
Coldness had replaced the warmth.
Silence had replaced the sound of family.
Abandonment had replaced the love.
But it was still home.
I agree with Mozartmaid on this part!
Looking forward to more!
