(From Asphodene’s perspective)

I still remember that unfortunate day.

My twin sister - Eridani - and I were pregnant at the same time, and we no longer relied on other living beings to stay alive.

Eridani: “Asphodene, I can’t believe we’re pregnant at the same time. And with both our pregnancies being twins like us…it’s like a miracle.”

Asphodene: “I know, sis. It’s amazing, but we have to be careful. Our bodies are still adjusting to this new power, and we don’t know how it will affect our children.”

Eridani: “I’ll be careful, Asphodene. I’ll do anything to protect my babies. And I know you’ll do the same for yours.”

But fate had other plans for us. Eridani suffered a miscarriage, and it broke our hearts.

Eridani: “Why did this happen, Asphodene? Why couldn’t we both have healthy babies?”

Asphodene: “I don’t know, sis. But we can’t give up hope. We have to stay strong and keep moving forward.”

Eridani: “I’ll try, Asphodene. But it’s so hard. I feel like I’ve lost a part of me.”

Asphodene: “I know, sis. But we still have each other. And who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll have another chance at motherhood.”
