[The concept of a brother...hm, it doesn't always sit well with Chiron, either, but--so far as any of them know, none of them are related by blood. So clearly it can't be that bad, whatever that twinge is, right?]

The alternative is to each attempt to go our own ways, and I'm afraid not only would that be ill-advised for the sake of surviving, but it would also be terribly boring to be surrounded by people so unlike oneself, unable to relate to your feelings about death.
