By three months, the twins were asking sophisticated questions.
"Why are we looking for a home?" Vash asked one day. "We have the ship- why can't we live here forever?"
"The ships can't support all the sleepers when they wake up," Rem explained. "And there won't be enough space. We need a planet- another Earth."
"What's a planet?" asked Knives.
So Rem explained how planets orbited around stars. "Like this," she said, as she circled around the boys. "Do you understand now?"
Knives nodded solemnly. "We are the suns," he pointed to himself & Vash, "and you are the Earth."
