The end of AOC

I enjoyed reading this book and found that a lot of life's troubles were brought up and examined in this book which made it interesting and enjoyable to read. I finished reading the book yesterday and had some theories about a few relationships from the book that I thought would be interesting to bring up.
First there is Geek and Yumi, it's sad how Yumi didn't see how geek felt towards the middle of the book. Their relationship is a very interesting one when you see how they are always there for each other but neither one really knows how to comfort or relate to the other one in that perfect manner. It appears that they will become or stay good friends with very different views of the world and life but that's what makes life interesting right, friends who are different and who still care no matter what.
Then there is Phoenix and Yumi, a mother and son relationship that has a very strange twist to it. Here the son seems to be taking care of the mother more so than the other way around. When Phoenix gets the idea to leave and go "runaway" with the seeds I was sure he was going to do it. But when he actually talked with his mom and thought about it he saw how much he meant to her and how she needed him. As he stated when Lilth asked him if we was going with them. Yumi seems to have a hard time concealing her grief when Phoenix confronts her about leaving but it very grateful that she has raised a son who can actually think through his decisions in life unlike she could at the age of 15. This shows just how strong a relationship children have with their parents no matter the circumstances.
Frank and Tibet or Betty as Cass calls her at the end of the book have another interesting and very touching relationship. Neither one is old enough to realize the importance of this relationship to its full extent but they both seem to have a certain feeling for it. Frank sends a letter to Tibet (Betty) at the end of the book and from the way he writes it you can tell how he loves and cherishes his daughter but how he also writes as if she were a close friend. I am sure that if there was a sequel to AOC that this relationship would be a very interesting and beautiful one to read about as the years passed by. I also thought it very symbolic how Cass changed Tibet's name and talked about her father changing the world. It just seems like it would lead up to some big event or future adventure that we have no way of knowing about but can only imagine.
These were just a few ideas that popped into my head and so I thought I would share them with you.
