Laura/Ben
I'll be honest here. As someone with a big family, most of whom are here? It's not always as great as it sounds. Yeah, we love each other. But we also bicker a lot and let's face it, we all have serious issues sometimes. And sometimes, especially with all of us here, it feels like we're tripping over each other.
And when one of us leaves, it hurts like hell.
Chosen family is a thing, Laura. Pick the people you want around you. Maybe it's the people from your world in these new forms and maybe it isn't. But only you get to make that call.
