a family is an animal. try cutting a piece out of it and tell it to keep living. it can only look at you in hurting disbelief. it does go on it has to learn anew. if you cut into it too often or in the right/wrong place it will die. unlike any other animal, its component parts can survive and go their own ways. they will remember what they used to be. will they understand are they less likely to be able to merge with a new one or not
parents aren't part of the animal for her cut out when jane was three but it must have made changed the nature of the animal for martin very much
then of course you can cut yourself out and watch the rest of it wither behind you and wonder how it could ever have been alive not real to begin with if it isn't anymore
don't suppose there's any such questing beast to be found here
