[The rest of the world might still have some things to say about it, eventually, but here, it doesn't matter what she is, just that she's still Desidera.] I could say the same for both of you: no matter what, I'll be there.

Monarch might still have been a relatively-new addition to either of their lives, but it already felt difficult—even impossible—to say she didn't feel like family in a way.]
