Would anyone agree that it could support the idea that there *is* no Restal clan, that in fact Vila's been very much on his own since childhood, and therefore never learned to care as much about another more than he does about himself?
Hmm, yes, and that *would* also go along with the fact that we never hear a single word about Vila's family from him... Which would otherwise really be rather remarkable, given how much Vila talks, and how much he appears to enjoy talking about himself.
(Sheesh. Now I'm thinking "Aw, poor orphan Vila! <Sniff!>" It's so disgustingly easy to get me feeling sorry for the guy...)
