Sorry for the double-post but this one is regarding Yang's quest to find her bio-mother.

A big point that just occured to me: Yang showed Junior a picture of her mother and didn't mention a name; even if Junior might not know the face, he might know the name so why wouldn't Yang ask him if he knew anything about her?

It's possible that her father has refused to name her mother and that picture (and the picture of the ruined house on Patch Island) are the only clues that Yang has. Why would her dad not give a name? Several dark possibilities occur to me, I admit. Maybe that name is too instantly recognisable and he's afraid that knowing who her birth mother is or has become would break her heart.
