The accusation hit Skater like a physical blow. Larisa Hartsinger had been Emma’s mother and Skater’s lover. Throughout the time of their relationship, Larisa had never mentioned a sister named Deja. She hadn’t mentioned any of her other family either, and Skater hadn’t asked. At the end, after Larisa had been killed during the ReGEN run a few months ago, she’d kept Emma’s birth a secret as well.
