" life before the Perfects was definitely much simpler. First and foremost, we had a home and a leader. That gave us a sense of balance and structure. Now that we’re out here, we’re tempted to miss it, but we’re forgetting that Ta’Zan was never going to teach us anything. He was never going to give us any kind of independence. He only wanted us to depend on him, for everything. "
