Noah misses his sisters all the time. Aside from them he hasn't known many kids, and he never paid much attention to the ones in Darrow. Agatha's the youngest he's met here, but he doesn't consider her little. She's an old soul, she lives on her own and she's self-sufficient. It's only since meeting Jack that it really hit Noah that kids could end up here without their parents. Noah can't imagine what it would be like to be that young and show up in a place like this, how alone and confusing that must be. Jack seems to be handling it well as far as Noah can tell, but he still wants to do something nice for the kid.

Kid's skateboards don't cost that much, and Noah can't stop thinking about how much Jack liked riding around on his, so he decides to buy him one. Then he realizes Jack will need pads and a helmet, and there's this set with a really awesome dinosaur helmet and matching design on the board, so he gets all of it.

He brings all this to the children's home to surprise Jack, and thankfully finds him playing outside in the yard since he has no idea what protocol is for visitors at this place. "Hey, Jack," he calls and waves, leaning against the fence.
