"Symbiosis and the host," Xavier answered.

"Symbiosis and the host?" Stupefied, Leia questioned, "Is that some kind of sci-fi thing? I only heardsuch terms in crazy cartoons." "I heard that if a person's organ is transplanted to another person, thedonor will infest the patient. Their actions, behaviors, characters, and preferences will merge. It's as ifthe patient's soul is snatched away." Xavier had read about it in books and sounded convincing.

"So, you're saying that the master of Ren’s new eyes has infested her? Is that why she’s changed somuch?" Leia asked hesitantly.

"We can’t rule it out!" Xavier continued, "Let’s talk about Jovan. Don’t you think he’s more tolerableafter he started using Renee's eyes? He doesn't seem so annoying. Even Stefan became smarter andmore cunning after he started using Jovan's eyes. They had shown the symptoms of symbiosis and thehost." "It seems true when you put it that way..." Leia touched her chin and nodded in agreement.Stefan, Jovan, and Renee had shown some changes in their personalities after getting new eyes. Atleast, she could see the merging of their personalities in Stefan and Jovan.

"It's true!" Xavier became excited when Leia agreed with him. "Our cells disintegrate and grow everyday. The old ones will die, and new ones will regenerate. The complete cycle is seven years, so theperson you met seven years ago might have changed seven years later. That's why people say it's acritical period when it's the seventh year of marriage-a man is different after seven years no matter howmuch he loves you. Naturally, he’ll have a change of heart and stop loving you." 1

Leia rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to justify cheating. So, what's the use of marriage then? After all,they'll just stop loving each other after seven years, so isn't it better not to be a couple at all? Yourstatement doesn't make sense. Many lovey-dovey couples spend their lives together forever, like Ren

and Stefan. They'll be madly in love with each other for more than seven years, and even grow to loveeach other more. How do you explain that?"

Slowly, Xavier explained, "Cells will change. If a person loves another person very much, the cells thatdie based on that premise will keep that love going. They'll grow to love each other more seven yearslater. But if the love doesn't grow, it'll be so much less seven years later. The new person will stoploving the other." 1 "What are you even saying?" Leia became quite confused. He was clearly talkingnonsense even though he sounded logical. "But what does that have to do with Ren?" Leia had no timeto analyze if the marriage system was rational from a biological point of view-she just wanted to helpher best friend.

"Why not?" Xavier sounded certain. "You said that Renee's personality has changed drastically. I thinkit's related to her new eyes." 1 "How could that be?" Although Leia had her doubts, she felt thatXavier's theory might have some truth in it.
