So the shape of the family structure begins to emerge. It explains some things that weren't truly questions Paul had, shading in details that he had grasped as sketches instead of fully coloured in parts of the background.

The world of Remnant seems as shattered as their moon and disconnected as their stars, sometimes. Everyone builds their families out of the pieces they find at hand. It's a way of life Paul understands better now.

"If Yang is anything like her sister," Paul says, sitting back and looking up at the sky, "I don't know if trying to stop her would have made a difference. No offense to people from your world, but you tend to be...determined."

It's a diplomatic way of saying 'stubborn', and an even more diplomatic way of saying 'impulsive'. He's coming to understand that better too, though. Life can't be lived at arm's length. Sometimes you have to step onto the board yourself.

"And you lost them too." Paul lets his eyes half-lid. "It's easy to forget that when you're thinking about the things you should have done. You only can see it from the place you are not, not the one you were in then."
