Family first.
This is how their families survived through The Great Turning and beyond. Over a hundred years since the meteor impact that changed the world, and in some ways, people haven't changed, even if the government did. There is still greed, there is still corruption.
But there is family.
And when your family is threatened, you will do whatever it takes to protect them, at any cost.
Even if it means risking your soul in the process.
