They have this... thing. He didn't take too much notice of it when he was growing up, but here - now, as an outsider - it's hard not to see it. That force that holds them together; strong and dependable. Unbreakable. Scores of demons and evil powers have tried their luck, but none have succeeded in shattering the Power of Three.
And he doesn't get it. He reasons it out in his mind that it's because they're women and he's never understood women so he'll never understand this. But even as he thinks it he knows its not true.
It's not a gender issue.
It's a family one. A bond between blood. The type he's never had.
He tells himself he's not jealous of their bond and swallows the taste of bitter acid on his tongue.
