Which is more true for you: Blood is thicker than water or My friends are the family I choose?

I loved them deeply. But now. . .my parents are dead, and my sister’s gone off to live her own life. (And given the time frame – no, I’m not thinking about that.) And I’ve – I’ve been stuck in worlds that aren’t my own for a good portion of my adult life. I didn’t even really remember my family until I came through the Rift. So, in all honesty, Marty in Arcadia, Farley, Aubrey, JD, Gladys, and Revan in the Rift, and perhaps Daimon and Metody in the Nexus – they’re the closest thing I have to family.
And I’d protect them with my life because of it.
