[Kieren has been human--or at least...alive again for a few days. He didn't want to tell Jem until he was sure it was going to stick, until he was sure he wasn't going to turn back, or die somehow, as if that was somehow the final stage of all of this. But it hasn't been--and he's hopeful he's in the clear, now.
Everything feels new, again, including the warmth and tightness of Jem hugging him, the smell of her surrounding him. He doesn't hesitate to hug back, his fingers sliding around to grip at her, breathing in deeply. He missed this.]
I don't know how this happened--or what happened, even. But I'm--I can feel everything, again.
