Brad has seen that look on Nagi's face too many times not to recognise his struggle. He had been forced to drill it into the boy's head - emotional attachments, especially to his team, were dangerous. And they still were, to a point. How could he possibly explain that to the boy when he had a tentative grip on the concept himself.
A worried Nagi was in no one's best interest, however.
"I've had seizures my whole life, Nagi. They aren't dangerous. I've learned to control them - only far ranging visions are still capable of dropping me like that now."
Brad fixed his attention on the boy, needing to see that he was hearing the words, understanding them.
"I said it was nothing to be concerned about, and it still is not. The vision I had was far ranging - possibly 25 years or more - and it will take me a long time to work out all the details that it showed. My contact with Balinese finally triggered it but it had been waiting to happen since the Tower."
Brad was leaving out some fairly large details but those WOULD worry Nagi. Hopefully, this explanation would be enough to put both his and Farfarello's minds to rest.
