Paul reveals to Bella that after moving to the moon, her mother gave birth to another child. The child is Bella’s biological sister. Bella then learns that her sister is Chill. However, both are unaware of each other’s existence until Chill’s death. Initially, Bella feels no emotional connection to her deceased sister.
