[Not exactly a term that he'd heard before but the word comes unbidden to his mind. And it feels... correct.

It's different for you.
[It's said like a statement, but it's really a question.]
You'd have had... parents. A mother and father.
[Serph says the words haltingly, like they're unfamiliar concepts and it's the first time he's spoken the terms.]
