Nico has a strong hold on Allie the alligator, one of the toys he inherited from Khyber. Khyber’s toys had names, and Khyber knew all of them. We could ask him to find a particular toy, and he would get it right 90% of the time. The only times he would get it wrong was when the toy was difficult to find, and he would pick up another one in an attempt to get a pass. Nico doesn’t know the names of his toys, but he likes playing with them.
