The kid accompanying Lata and Orion was the helpful orphan, Ben. Though, technically he's not an orphan anymore, being adopted by an new "mother" and "father, Castor and Luna.
"Wait, what do you mean fake?" Ben asked, confused. "So you aren't my parents?" His voice shook slightly, worried that he was tricked and on his way to any even worse place.
Lata sighed, turning to Ben.
"No, we're not. It was a lie so we could get you out of that miserable place," Lata explained. Tears began to form in the young boy's eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, you're still a part of the family!" she added quickly. Lata really wasn't good with soothing people.
