It doesn't take long for them to go from strangers to 'family'. The transition is fast and before it is realized it is known. For Sakura, it is hard to imagine her family as anything else but these people. Fai as the excited mother and Kurogane as the brooding father fits the jigsaw of her life better than those memories she keeps regaining with every feather. They are more real and solid than those fantasy images she tries in vain to understand.

(Those are memories of a different Sakura, from a different time. This Sakura has the feeling that she can get all the feathers, put the puzzle completely together, and there will still be one piece missing. That one piece that makes everything connect.)

Mokona is the family friend, always ready to help the mother out, while Syaoran is...something. He's a special something but he cannot be defined. She's still sure that he is a part of her family all the same.

She didn't notice the change in attitude, having caught only the last stages of it.

(Those who were awake since the beginning didn't realize anything had changed either. Just that sometimes they could tease and be teased because they knew each other better. Just that they could help because they understood each others strengths.)

There was some sort of change and Sakura doesn't think she could survive without her family, no matter how fragily it is made out of the sand. She doesn't know what she'll do when the tide tears it apart.
