I used to belong to a family unit, with a foster mom and dad and my little sister, Bean, but that's over and I don't want to talk about what happened , or how unfair it was. Not yet. The less said about that the better, because if there's one thing I learned from Ryter it's that you can't always be looking backward or something will hit you from the front.
The narrator reflects on a past life where they were part of a family that included foster parents and a younger sister named Bean. However, that chapter is now closed, and the narrator is unwilling to delve into the details of how it ended or the perceived injustice of it all. They find the topic too painful and premature to discuss.
Learning from a figure named Ryter, the narrator understands that dwelling on the past can be detrimental, as it can blind one to current challenges. This wisdom serves as a guiding principle, encouraging them to focus on the present rather than being consumed by past grievances.
