"Edward didn't choose. Edward went with Faye, but I didn't choose. Just went." How could she make Faye understand? "Edward goes where Edward wants and Edward doesn't get left behind."
Maybe that was it, maybe Ed just felt like Faye was leaving her behind. She went off and made this all-new family and Ed didn't even have her father-person anymore. She couldn't just go make one. She didn't really look at Faye, just kinda in her direction, as she went to place her day's scrounging on a table. "There is Faye's family, where there's going to be a Father-person and Mother-person and baby-person and it's not mine. Not my family. Not my father and mother. They're not here, I don't belong."
She didn't even notice as she slipped back into first-person pronouns, sitting in a chair and reaching down to run her fingers over Ein's head. To his credit, Ein rose up on his hind legs and placed his head on her lap. "Faye has her family there. Faye belongs. I have Ein. I belong here. Ein is Edward's family."
