"Olseyir... you mean Riley's fucking female clone? That creepy clone is still alive?"
"...I would allow that since you're obviously perplexed, but please refrain from talking about my mother like that."
"Oh, I am more than perplexed - I am terrified."
The only thing that Hannah could really do with the revelation was find somewhere to sit on,
and the nearest thing she could find was the floor. She was already used to crazy and out-of- the-world revelations.
Riley being Darkday.
Her mother being a themarian.
Women finding Riley attractive.
But Riley's female clone actually giving birth?
"How... is that even possible?" Hannah clasped her head as she looked back and forth between Riley and Aerith' Ross, before settling on Riley, "Aren't your clones just made of whatever? They don't actually have physical, biological bodies. They are just made of... matter."
"Everything is made of matter, Sister."
"Haha, very fucking funny," Hannah rolled her eyes, "You know what I mean, dude."
"Well... she did say she's from the future," Nannah, who was still listening on in the conversation despite following Miss Pepondosovich everywhere in the library, commented on the side, "Perhaps they found a way to make her like... a real woman? It's not that far-fetched, before all this shit happened, some people have been wanting to be called different pronouns."
"Ideology and biology are completely different things!" Hannah wanted to strangle someone, "I mean, good for them and their freedom of expression - but Riley's clone isn't even a real person to begin with. We're not talking about a sex change here, we're talking about turning... turning a fucking table into a real live person."
"That is very rude, Sister," Riley could not help but let out a sigh of disappointment as he looked at Hannah - and it wasn't only him, Aerith' Ross and Nannah were also looking at her while shaking their heads.
"What the—Am I the only one that's fucking making sense here!?"
"When you are in a room filled with the weirdest people and you are the only normal one, Sister then you are the weird one."
"Fuck you."
"Hannah, your mom literally created another planet from scratch," Nannah sighed, "And you have Paige who could just create whatever she wants and this is what makes you shocked?" "Fuck... you're right. It's just that whenever Riley's around, it's all just a fucking mess."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I would argue the world was more of a mess when I was not here, Sister," Riley shrugged before looking at Miss Pepondosovich, who was still busy searching for anything that would give them clues about anything, "If I was here when the gods escaped from the Domain of the Gods, then I would have killed all of them and 99% of the population of the entire multiverse would still be alive."
"Ack, it doesn't matter," Hannah could really only let out a sigh as she finally collected herself again and stood up, "We don't even know if Aerith here is really even from the future - if turning your clone into something actually alive is possible...
Miss Pepondosovich then leaped toward Riley and handed him something.
"This is Rennalyn's foot bracelet," Riley tilted his head to the side as he looked at the jewelry
in his hand, "Did she leave this here?"
"Leave it...?" Miss Pepondosovich almost scoffed as she looked at Riley, "That's the first gift
you gave her she even bathes with that thing on her."
"...Your first gift to your daughter is a foot bracelet?" Hannah raised an eyebrow.
"I recall you wearing one, Sister."
"Wh-"
"That's not important!" Miss Pepondosovich formed her arms into an 'X' as she raised her
voice, "The point is that even with her going into depression or mental collapse, I don't think Renna would ever take this off... much less forget about it so...
...What the fuck did you do with little Renna?"
Miss Pepondosovich very slowly turned her head toward Aerith'Ross; showing her fangs at
her while the muscles on her legs started to contract.
"I told you, Riley Ross," And also very slowly, a very wide smile started to crawl on Aerith'Ross's face as she looked Riley in the eyes, "Your shadows hunt me in the future...
...so I decided to hunt them down first."
"By shadows, you mean- "
"Riley's children, of course..." A small giggle started to escape out of Aerith'Ross's lips,
"...And although poor little Renna hasn't really hunted me down nor have I seen her with her
other siblings...
...I might as well start with her, no?"
"You..." Miss Pepondosovich's voice started to tremble with rage,
"...What did you do to her?"
