#recontextualising that in a narrative about learning how to be human even as an alien might make space for N to find home in himself.

I'd really love to see N being introduced to the music of David Bowie at some point between BW and BW2. Bowie's music is all about struggling to accept one's humanity, yet still learning, step by clumsy step, how to enjoy it. And I figure it may be a way for N to learn to reconcile himself to his humanity, to slowly learn to take pleasure in it—for while there's a piece of him that will always feel estranged from it, he might be granted the peace to be able to explore that estrangement, and to find little gorgeous flecks of silver in the grey areas.
