I don't know if it's doubt, exactly.

[she doesn't have any specific reason to think it's not true.]

But they don't always tell the truth. So maybe part of me liked to think it wasn't. Even if realistically, that would only mean that the family I did have abandoned me or never looked for me.

...I think there is little wrong with that, to wish to know how your family is doing. And if they are not there, to wonder what happened to them.

...

I also do not have parents. I don't remember what happened at all. But I do have my sister, and everything I've done is my best to take care of her.

[she never thought much about what it would be like to have a brother or sister, but when she sees fidelio and basilio, or hears marcoh talk about his, she does feel envious, even if in both cases it seemed to lead them to fear over losing them.]

You don't remember what happened?

[boxcar]

I don't.

[ As far as anyone knows they're just GONE! ]

[sacredpath]

Well, then, it seems we have that in common after all.

[boxcar]

Not exactly everyone's favourite thing to share.

[ Not like, fully amused, nor is it dry, but it's the closest he'll get to a joke ever. ]

[sacredpath]

[a joke... from sweet marcoh... she smiles.]

I didn't necessarily say it was a nice one.

[boxcar]

[ True. ]

...Family is important. But I think, you can also choose what kind of family is important to you. That is all.
