Huh. I didn't know Kaname was that close to Corwin's family specifically. I sort of thought of all the Sterling daughters as doing their own thing much of the time in this day and age, and Mars Division in particular is a little out in left field, I'd think, from the norm.

I believe I'll go back and reread that Invid origin story again. =)
