The Story of the Child
[August hasn't left his room since he woke up here. He's a little afraid to, truth be told. Afraid that if he takes his eyes off her, she'll be lost. She's so small, and as he speaks she makes happy noises, as if she enjoys the sound of his voice]
So... so these kids. They're only with us for a week, and then what? Do they have someone to look after them?

August, honey? You sound a little frazzled. Are you okay?

I'm pretty sure the castle wouldn't allow a baby to be harmed. Remember on that ship they had the children in that enchanted sleep? I'm sure when the children disappear, they're taken to a place where they're well looked after and they're happy.

[his father didn't care that Pinocchio was just a wooden puppet, after all. Why should August care if his daughter is a demon or whatever else?]

actually the prevailing theory is that their guardians are alternate and presumably more competent versions of ourselves
but at any rate they seem to have decent homes
