她一直是理性的声音，是那些吵架并确保他们记得自己是家人的人。在他们开始之前停止了战斗，并提醒他们，归根结底，彼此之间的全部是他们真正拥有的一切。多年来，他们都陷入了巨大的时光。她一直是理性的声音。
(She had always been the voice of reason, had been the one who smoothed over quarrels and made sure that they remembered they were family. Stopped the fights before they began and reminded them that, at the end of the day, each other was all that any of them really had. As close as they were, they had all fallen out big time over the years. She had been the voice of reason.)
