Khan's mind was nothing short of a mess afflicted by a storm of raging or sad thoughts.
The recent period hadn't been easy. Khan had alternated prolonged periods of utter solitude with dangerous battles in alien environments. His first real interaction with fellow humans was in Blue Moon colony, barely sating a social animal's need for kinship.
The return to Nott Station had brought its share of problems. The meeting with Princess Rachel had been emotionally fulfilling but also troubling, carrying the suffocating weight of politics and feelings Khan couldn't respond to.
Michael's successful birth had been an extremely high moment. Khan couldn't express how happy he was for George, but the incredible achievement highlighted what he had lost. George's new situation perfectly reflected Khan's sad state and the prices he kept paying.
