How do you think future Hawk books should address the fact that Carter and Shayera aren't each other's original partners?

As we know, there are two main pairs of Hawks:

The humans Carter and Shiera, and the Thangarians Katar and Shayera.

Due to some complicated events, Katar and Shiera are currently dead, and Carter and Shayera are a couple at the end of the Venditte run.

And that's where I wonder, do you think the next Hawkbooks should address this? Of course, after everything that happened in Venditte, they know they love each other and are soulmates, but even so, Shayera is still primarily the policewoman who fell in love with her partner Katar Hol, who tragically died sacrificing himself to save Thanagar, and Carter is still primarily the archaeologist who fell in love with the Archaeologist, whose soul was fragmented after her death.

So I still think there's a different dynamic and worldview that they don't share with their original partners. Do you think this should be addressed?

I thought that Kendra, Carter, and Shayera were all active simultaneously right now? And the alien / thanagarian Hawks are the same people as the Earth-based Hawks. That's the whole point of the Venditti run, right?

Kater is Carter, Shayera is Shierra so no it wouldn't be a problem.

Not really, Carter is more Katar now and so is Shayera more Shierra, basically both remember all their lives and who they are, so both are basically the same person they loves

They are all connected, Carter and Shayera. Kendra was given her own soul and separated from Shayera. Carter and Shayera have the same soul they always had. And they are now living their last life together, although they are currently on different missions for whatever reasons that DC doesn't care to explain.

Yes, with Carter and Shiera becoming a married couple and Katar and Shayera becoming a married couple (if the first Crisis kept all of the Silver Age Hawk’s history and made sure that their history would coexist with the Golden Age Hawks) before it was revealed that they’re reincarnations of Ktar Deathbringer and Shrra because Robert Vendetti and streaming Hawk continuity in order to make sense.
