Something happened when he (and Groot) met Quill and Gamora; something happened when Drax and Mantis joined the team. The Guardians of the Galaxy solidified when Nebula joined them, and now he's got something he never really got to have for longer than a blink of an eye: a real goddamned family.
He thinks on Lylla, Teefs and Floor, and he thinks of how unfair it had been to be brought into this universe only to be discarded before they really had a chance.
