Could there be valid reasons for everything his father’s done, including abandoning Noah at birth?

Every time I look into his eyes, everything else fades away - the war, the fight ahead, the fact that we have so much work to do if we want to win. I see him and I forget that SpaceTech is moving against us, but it's not just me I'm trying to save anymore. It's the Aunare.

Haven Lent is a practical person with a big imagination. If asked what she would bring to another world, her first answer would be ponytail holders and a hairbrush (it’s easier to slay a dragon if her hair isn’t in her face).
