The Heartwood i've loved everything about you that hurt

Mal's words are a series of blows he had been unprepared for, yet he finds himself... not quite as affected as he might have thought he would be. In fact, he feels more concern for the youth before him than for the pack he'd left behind or the ghost of an ex-love. Perhaps he's become heartless — or simply more practical than before. After all, Mal is alive, and the apparent indifference with which he addresses all of his trauma seems to speak to its depth.

He can't help but wonder how Delight could have ignored his own son through it all — the loss of his mother, two sisters, and being uprooted on top of it all.

You never found your sisters?
