Who is Thomas talking to?
seanham:
The unnamed prisoner says that "He belongs to be here" (paraphrasing). I wonder if Thomas will adopt this same attitude after talking with him or once he gets off the Island that he will feel that he belongs back in prison.

He might, he was troubled before, that is why when he went to live with Harry he starved himself because he knows on some level it is wrong to feed on other people. Then he found some peace in nibbling on people, bringing them pleasure while feeding his needs. Then after the Skinwalker got done with him, he once again saw humans as kine. Not saying that he fed until death more people since Turn Coat, but he now he has to face the harm that he has done. If he cannot rid himself of his Hunger Demon, he may also come to believe that he belongs where he is at.

The phrase is "Someone who needs to be here." In some ways it is similar to Lea's interaction with Harry in Arctis Tor during Proven Guilty.
--- Quote from: Lea in Proven Guilty ---“Child,” she said. Her voice was weak. “You must not free me.”
I stared at her, feeling confused. “Why?”
She gritted her teeth and said, “I cannot yet be trusted.

Another way to read it is to assume the the person is healing. Much like Thomas is expected to do. The third alternative being that the prisoner is there waiting for something to happen. Or some mix of the three. Pick your poison.
Mira:
In Lea's case what remained of her sanity due to the infection knew she couldn't be trusted. It is a creepy scene because at first Harry didn't believe her, then crazy infected Lea appeared and begged him to release her.

Yep, she was fruitier than a nut cake.
