Ezra has to think about that, harder than you'd think he'd have to. His parents knew people, of course, but the ones Ezra could name have all vanished or avoid him. He doesn't know if they'd pass on a message like that.

Finally, though, he comes up with at least one possibility.

"Old Jho might," he says. "An' if my parents came back, I bet they'd see him." He remembers getting Loth-rat pie from Jho with his parents, and them talking. Surely they'd go to get food there again.
