Family, it's quite often an inheritance.
That of the the color of your eyes, the shape of your face,
a past, even a personality,
it can even be an heirloom, ready-made sentences, properties, passing down a secret,
a vocation.
Family, it's either about sharing that inheritance, or dividing it.
It can bring joy or spark conflict.
When a creature is born, it's already burdened.
