"His skin was burned completely. His memory was gone. He might have been anything," Quotis admitted reluctantly.
Gawroi thought: that was a break. The man actually did have amnesia. He said, "There, you see? It was as I thought. But tell me, doctor: he suffered from amnesia, and you let him go?"
"He was an adult. It was his decision to make. I didn't approve of it."
"You have a clinical description of the man?"
"Of course."
"Can you forward it to my office?"
"I'll do that. If it's possible for you to tell me why this Earthman is so important to you...?"
"Why? Why is Philip Rhodes important?" boomed Gawroi. "Because he was my friend, Dr. Quotis! I want to find my friend! Is that strange?"
"No," Quotis admitted.
