"Other arm," he added.
Something had echoed strangely in the man's voice as he confessed that his identity still eluded him. A reluctance, almost. As if it took something out of him to admit that such a fundamental detail was still lost to him.
"That's all right," Rakitin said. "It will come back to you eventually."
