[That makes Yoh pause and fall silent for a moment, he looks away from Madoka, concentrating again in what his hands are doing. It's a long silence before he smiles once more.]

I also have my own family waiting for me back home. I also have friends waiting for me, but that doesn't mean I can't have friends here, right? After all, it's not anything new... You know, after the second World War there were many orphans left around, many stayed that way but some were lucky. They gathered together with other orphans or even with adults or elders who had lost their families as well, and together they formed new families.

I've heard that after what happened in Germany, many people were simply unable to even find out if their families were alive or not, children without parents, parents without children... And some of them came together as families even if they hadn't even seen each other before. So... For someone to be your family or not, it's not "inevitable" or something that can't be changed, actually it's a very simple thing and it just depends on you. And just because you already have a family it doesn't mean you can't have another one...

[He pauses before he laughs.]

Actually you probably will end with another family. Or at least it's what someone would expect once they grow older and get married and have children.
