GR translation: part of whoever he was inside it has kindly remained

[David Morris]

Q:  Does the "he" in "whoever he was inside it" refer to Slothrop?

A: Yes

Q:  what are "They" exactly in "They’re reassembling"?

A:  “part of *whoever he was inside it *[inside his head] has kindly
remained, stored quiescent these months outside of his head”

“They” are “* whoever he was inside it *[inside his head].”

“Outside his head” would mean “outside” (beyond, out of reach) of his
conscious mind.
