Ender, now departed for Lusitania is now, on his journey, feeling the pain of loosing his sister, who has long since gotten over the pain. Her new daughter, Styfe, though not known to Ender, has taken a deep obsession to him. This was probably mirrored by Ender's former student Plikt, who also obsesses over writing her book about who Ender and Valentine really are. Valentine's three children, now full adults, are the only ones who are told the true stories of Valentine and Ender, of particular interest to Plikt, who takes Styfe under her wing. It is later mentioned that Ender, on his "short" journey, has fallen in love with Novhina. He says, "he loved her, as you can onlu love someone who is an echo of yourself at your time of deepest sorrow. He then goes to wonder what they 40 years (to him only a few days), has done to her desperate situation. He yearns to see her with a burning passion.
