[Follow-up to Family Virus - NOT backdated]

...I don't care if it was just another damn virus. I had a family - a real one. People I thought I cared about all my life...who wouldn't leave me.

Damn it! Damn it to hell! This is so stupid! I shouldn't be so...so...

...Hurt.

It was just a virus. It made me think I have a family, that's all. My only family is Kharg and my grandfather, and I barely know them. I guess it's still something. But...

No...I'm not gonna regret what happened during the virus, and I'm not gonna get all sappy about it either. There are more important things right now, so I shouldn't - I won't let it get to me. It just...felt good to have a real family for a few days.

Phil, Luna, Lyra...I know it wasn't your choice or anything, but...I'm glad you were my family. Even if it was for a little while.
