I'd argue that our history is survival. Something that Dawn is constantly managing despite her challenges. As for me, I have no desire to be as important as our parents were. I don't see a reason to be, and if you consider what others did due to them, it would be nigh impossible anyway.

Our family's history is turning "nigh impossible" into absolute. If survival was all there was to it, dad would never have become so great.
