Zoren went on to explain how he came to the conclusion that he, too, had been reborn, just like Penny and Finn. The brief trip down memory lane had been too vivid, and as a child, he had carried too much malice. His mother may have hated him, but he had loathed her just as much—perhaps even more.
Zoren didn't remember anything past his father's death. But he was almost convinced that his father's death and the last thoughts he could recall before falling into a coma were clear evidence that he had been reborn.
"So, you're telling me that because of my father-in-law's death, you just shut down?" Penny repeated, simplifying everything in her own words.
Zoren nodded. "I don't think 'shut down' is the proper term, but yes."
