You're sure? They know it -- not only because other people are telling them it's so?
[Because Simon knows as well if not better than anyone else that information can be a powerful, powerful thing, and the way it's handled so powerful as to be deadly in the wrong hands. They'd been reminded of that the hard way with Amy, but it's something he's been fighting with since his second life began: who is saying what, and why, and how does anyone know it's true?
And this isn't exactly where his faith in Kieren falters, but he knows he might need a bit of a push. Kieren, who believed the Give Back scheme would only last six months, who thought going back to the treatment center wouldn't be so bad. If Kieren really believes it, Simon will too, but he needs to be sure. The stakes on this are far too high, to him, not to be sure.]
