Sometimes Marco thought he was the only imPort here who had a good relationship with his parents. He loves his parents; he'd die (or kill) for either of them, though his mother holds a special place in his heart. It hadn't occurred to him that it might be a rarity until he ended up here.

He snorts, "Well, I came into a lot of money at 16 and I can't say I've been entirely responsible with it either."
