Teya spoke of their daughter as if she were an afterthought.

Of course she was still around! This was her home. This was where Reyes always envisioned meeting with her again, to tell her how much he loved her, and how badly he felt for being away. She had to be here.

This cannot be home for you now, Reyes.

It felt like the air in his lungs wanted to punch its way out; his stomach churned as if assaulted in the same manner, and in that instant Reyes felt a hot, sick, desperate feeling overtake him. He looked up, saw Teya; saw her eyes, the pity there, the hurt, and the denial. She said something about Niamh but it had been so long that Reyes couldn't recognize the name, let alone remember what had happened.

Only that she was refusing him his home. She was refusing him his daughter.

I — I can't -- you're saying I can't come home? How dare she take this away from him? Who was she to refuse him after all he'd done to earn his freedom, and get back here? How could she refuse the one thing that kept him whole?

But she's my daughter, Teya. His voice was stronger when he spoke of Sorana. You can't keep me from her, she's mine.
