As an orphan herself, she understood the storm Finn had felt when he found his parents. Natalie had spoken the truth.

They had all lived bitterly, scraping survival from the edge of blades. No matter how hardened they became, there was always resentment toward the parents who had lost them, always the ache of wanting love that never came.
