After a chat with the old man, Wells learned that he was a veteran retired from the army, which is quite common in East Africa, especially with the resettlement of soldiers, a feature unique to the region.
Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar came from behind Wells.
"Big brother!"
Wells turned around to see a young man, slightly over 1.7 meters tall, standing behind him.
"Are you Mel?" Having been away from home for so long, Wells found the changes in his family somewhat disorienting.
"Big brother, it's me. It's been so many years, and you haven't changed much, but looking closely, your demeanor is different. It seems you've been doing well in Germany!"
The person welcoming Wells was his second brother, Mel.
"Your voice has changed a bit from before, I almost didn't recognize you. If there weren't anyone else around, I certainly wouldn't have thought you were calling me," Wells said.
