Jeremy's Aunt

Jeremy's Aunt and Uncle function as the boy's sole surviving kin, explicitly identified in the episode as his only living relatives who reside on Earth. Their identities remain unnamed and offscreen, but the narrative positions them as the default next-of-kin and potential custodial contacts for a grieving minor. Their existence shifts Picard's obligation from purely investigatory duty toward a custodial and welfare concern, establishing these relatives as the immediate civilian locus for any transfer of care, consent, or family notification procedures.
