He had so many scars that people could see. There was the scar that people looked for as soon as they heard his name. The outward mark of his responsibility to the Wizard World.
What people didn't see were the scars he bore inside. The scars from being raised in a home by people who didn't love him. The scars from being treated like a servant by the people who were supposed to protect him.
As he listened to his family going about their day, he realized that those scars were healing. He realized they didn't matter.
He was whole.
