And just when you thought the last family renunion YOU attended was awkward...
I guess the question on everyone's mind right now is if this reunion will have a "relatively" happy ending, with the little sister/big brother reconciliation thing, or not? As confused and pissed as Jon is, beneath the assassin exterior lies a half decent person who, aside from the killing people in exchange for money bit, has
tried to help people, (including Meji),
because of his sister. He deserves so much better than to have to (A) kill her, or (B) be killed by her. THAT wouldn't be right. In fact, that would just be fucked up and cruel. :(
And as ready-to-kill that Sara appears, (and you've gotta admit, she's not unfamiliar with dealing measured doses of the murder syrup herself), she's an unfortunate victim of circumstance as well. Jon hooked up with the Gewhers in a severely misguided effort to help his family, and she was standing there as Jon tried to rationalize it to their mother. I have a hard time believing that Sara would so easily forget that Jon was willing to sacrifice himself and his soul
for her sake, when nobody else could have provided for them at the time. Sure, it was blood money, but his heart was in the right place, right? I'm sure she remembers
the last time she saw him, and i hope she comprehends the events of the past with enough clarity that she could, at the very least, give them both a chance to make up for lost time.
I hope.

Quick question to Poe or Impy - what kind of sibling relationship did Jon and Sara have as they were growing up together anyway? given that the plot has justed reached a significant climax, i'm certain inquiring minds would want to know :)
