She would keep them in her heart forever, just as she would her lost best friend, her mother, her grandmama, and the rest of those who she had not seen for a long time, and doubted she would see again. Maybe they would surprise her and appear again one day, but she couldn't dare to expect that of them, so instead she would just make sure to remember them.

She couldn't bring herself to think of her as family in the same way that she thought of Lisi and Hamlet and the Great Mother, but maybe she would, once she got to know her. "Where is your family?" Melis asked, realizing that she didn't know much about where Konane came from, and hadn't ever heard anyone talking about it or even bothering to ask in the past. It was about time someone cared about her, she thought to herself, although her father had obviously gotten to that task before anyone else.
