"Hm." Keith considered that for a moment and then nodded.
"Yeah," he said. "I guess that is all that matters. That we know who we are."
He'd gone through something like that already, too. He didn't know anything about his mother, or where he'd gotten his Marmora Blade before. Didn't even know what the blade was. His dad had died before he'd been able to tell him anything more than his mother had left when he was an infant.
But he'd discovered that it really didn't matter. What mattered was that he knew who he was. And, yeah, that sometimes faltered still from time to time, but he always came back to the same thing. He was Keith. He was a Paladin. He was a Blade of Marmora. He was the Red Paladin, but he was also the Black Paladin. He was human. He was Galra. But he was still Keith. He'd always be Keith.
