Otherwise it serves as a nice bit of finality, and often a dose of reassurance that things turned out okay.<br /><br />And when it comes to big families, I really like the interplay when it's a bunch of siblings.

I love seeing how different archetypes go together and then make up the stories conclusion and what not. Seeing people work together is always great. Adds balance. I agree with everything you said!
