"I didn't know what else to name her. When I got her she was pregnant. So when she had the puppies, I just called her 'Mama' and it stuck. We were on the ship then and I was the only one taking care of them, so I carried them in a laundry basket from place to place."

Mama still acts like her name, too, just as fussy as Miller in checking over people.

This by far isn't all their pictures, but Kaz starts to point at soldiers and list their names. Most of them sort of silly, too. Sly Iguana did this or Rogue Bison did that. "This is Link. I took care of him for a while on the ship." He points to a boy with pointed ears and a very serious expression. "This is my 39th birthday. This is Bucky Barnes. Kid from World War II. A friend of mine.

"I think he died when our ship crashed."

Bucky, Big Boss, and Kaz had been something of their own family unit and he'd loved it. Their own little silly military sanctuary in space. But Big Boss had died, then Bucky. And he'd lost his illusion of a family again. One more time. Bucky doesn't look much older than Tetora, actually, in the photo. No more than a couple of years.

The pause lingers, before he points out a couple of more pictures. "These are from planets we went to. And that's an asshole." He points at Ocelot.

Just ignore him. He's biased heavily against him.
