Harpuia still wasn't sure he understood, truth be told. Were they only family because that was part of the intended function their creator had designated for them, then? Having only a single creator, rather than a team... was that enough of a bond to make Dr. Light a parent even if he had never specifically built children?
No, of course not. What did that say about Copy X and Dr. Ciel?
Sharing a creator in common guaranteed nothing, especially not in an era of mass-produced reploids. Dr. Light had surely built more than just Rock, Roll, and X -- were they excluded from the family? DNA data hadn't necessarily been discovered by then, so it guaranteed nothing. Even if it were shared... was that supposed to mean family? Ought he have looked at Fefnir as a brother? At Master X as a... well, no, that was ridiculous.
Whatever the case, he most certainly hadn't been built to be anyone's child.
"Two of the reploids who served beneath me were brother units," he admitted, "but I've never known anything else like the family you talk about. Those sorts of bonds don't do combat robots any favours. When one falls, the others tend not to last much longer."
