Seaborn are a collective. If it's easier to think about it, the Firstborns are like… vital organs, which is probably why sometimes they fight. Like how people sometimes say their brain and their gut have different feelings? And then the rest of the Seaborn are… the body? The nerves, the limbs, the skin, you know. That sort of thing.
Realistically, most Seaborn don't have much in the way of free will, but even that's not necessarily a bad thing. Even if a Seaborn dies, they'll forever be a part of the collective, and live on through it. It's kinda nice, I think. And… [ He puts the plaque down to lace his fingers together. ] It's kinda nice to never really be alone? Uh, but, that's just what I think…
…
Ehe, but I guess that's just a long winded way to say We're always together, since "I" am just as much a part of the collective as it is of "me". Though, I would say that… the Arbor does not always agree with the rest of the collective, and that's what's… important to "me", I guess?
