She has never come to this place, I imagine it would just be exchanging one workload for another... now what's all this talk about "time altering"?
"Aeritha never arrived?" Naomi's jaw dropped. She stopped chewing her hand and looked at Gio in horror. "But... she came and was here... just a few days ago. Swith was going to make a feast for her. And she told us Mother would come... but in the guise of Christina Jerid! She said Pearlelei might visit!"
Naomi felt twinges of anger creep into her being. "This isn't right. You're the after-party. You're the joy and music and creativity that comes after the struggle. You're... you're you! But you're toiling away like you were Aeritha. Oh, Giovenith, this is terrible. This is all because the world was about to end."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...! The world was about to end? Naomi, what are you talking about? Heck, how do you even know of my sister or Pearlelei's pseudo-name? Did something happen we don't know about?"
