As for Edward, he didn’t much care whether his mother was dead or alive; he carried with him a few cast-off feelings and mental pictures of her, but to him she was nothing but the one who had cursed him with life.
Edward’s physical health suffered as a result of his newly developed asceticism; his weight dropped considerably, and his caretakers and those who considered themselves his friends grew increasingly concerned about him.
Edward thought it a wonderful irony; a double paradox, in fact, since his father, who had so hated Starfleet for allowing the death of his wife, now had a son who would live on one of the most advanced ships in the fleet.
