"Nineteen--" The surprise is loud and clear in Sonny's tone, which is ridiculous, seeing as he just learned that Credence is from a time where helicopters and airplanes don't really exist, so of course that time would be something like 1926. Obviously, logically, that makes sense.
Still. Anybody from 1926 is likely to be dead in his time. It's sort of a surreal moment for him.
He watches Credence stack the blocks as the instructions state, thinking back to all the times he played it with his sisters. He likes having Credence around, likes spending time with him — he feels like the other boy is someone he can be a big brother to, and it reminds him a little bit of home.
It never occurred to him what it might be like to have a little brother. But when he talks to Credence, he doesn't have to.
"Not New York," Sonny says, after thinking for a moment. "I'm scared of leaving my family. They just happen to be in New York."
