From the transcript

Layton, he's a kid that I feel like was always meant to be at TCLL, and he finally got to be here in middle school. When middle school first started, there was a lot of new folks to the program, and so we did a lot of lessons about how we're connected to each other. And who we are, our shagoon. And Layton had lots of questions for me. He needed me to tell him all of his shagoon that day.
