When we go swimming in the creek, I notice Ax staring at his body, then at mine.

"What's up, Ax?"

"It is a shame I cannot acquire DNA from a morph," he says.

"I think I'm missing the connection."

"If I could, I would acquire your human DNA and perform the Frolis Maneuver again. We are family. My human body should resemble yours."

"Ax, I don't have Elfangor's DNA, but he's still a part of me. So I can be a part of you. Family isn't blood." I reach out and squeeze Ax's shoulder. "It's what we give each other."
