Lien met Pau de Gomera when she was abandoned by the asylum after it shackled her up so much for at least over a decade or so. Here, she had been pretty curmudgeonly fat, possibly heavily diabetic, since the preteen years of yore, because of her royally screwed up genes. An Interesting fact about such a disastrous term at the asylum is that she was already FAT to begin with even when she was a FETUS.

Pau was a skinny, mixed Konkani-Portuguese Goan and Tetum fella, who has already been a womanizer so evolutionarily successful to begin with, as he birthed a lot of kids out of wedlock in the tummies of their permanently unwed mothers. Also, he's about twenty eight, she's six months to becoming thirty two.

They never fell in love with each other, until the pirates of a ship kidnapped both of them into a world of sea shaking terror. After that, they were married at their ship and birthed two babies after being dumped by them in the town of Pangkoh.
