Everyone wants a family

"Why would I want that?"

Adam's question stumped Mariam. She had spent a long time telling him about his pure bloodline, his unique characteristics, and how he could influence the final outcome by eating monster meat and choosing a female Hybrid as his partner.

But all she got was a blank stare. He genuinely didn't understand the point of it all.

The information was useful, but nothing more.

Mariam gulped, her eyes darting from side to side as she tried to think of something to say.

"What...? What are you talking about, Adam?"

Adam shook his head.

"Mariam, what's the point? Even if I agreed that night and we went to a hotel, what would happen next? You would give birth to a child, and he would die in six years? I used you as an example, but the same can be said about anyone who plans to have a child before the World Wipe."
