Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-39657475-20190618022231/@comment-37166538-20190621223102

Simply put, Sophie and Keefe have bonded in a way that is, in my opinion, stronger that Fitz and Sophie.

Yes, Fitz and Sophie are Cognates. However, Keefe is not a Telepath, so he never had that chance. That is one reason why I believe that "Cognates," in and of itself, is not a valid argument.

Cognatedom aside, let's look at the facts. Remember the window sleepover? That's one of many moments that helps my point along. It shows that, in the end, those two will always be there for each other. Fitz will never understand what it's like to be born into something like Sophie or Keefe was (Project Moonlark, son of Gisela). And of course, that's not his fault. But it does mean that Keefe and Sophie are able to bond on a deeper level.

Fighting the Neverseen is Sophie's life. I'd imagine that, even after they've been defeated, she wouldn't be able to completely move on. And somehow, it seems that, when it comes to advice on coping with all that's happening with the Neverseen, Keefe has always come through for Sophie. And Sophie has always come through for Keefe.

They open up to each other. They understand each other. They've lived through being born into an organization that, in a sense, wants to manipualte them. In the end, they've got something that Sofitz doesn't.
