The Foolish Son

"Is something the matter?" He-El asked calmly, waving a hand to let the Shinigami captains who had come to see him rise. As for this son, He-El honestly felt as though he were a stranger.

If someone wanted to have a familial bond with anyone, they could adjust it immediately. That was not to say New Krypton's civilians were indifferent to family.
