Beatle sits next to Miguel, drinking from a flask of milk. “First time?”


    Miguel just stays silent.


    Beatle pats him on the back. “Kid… I did this game with Annie and Ruru for years. My answer? It never mattered. What matters is your mission.”


    Miguel’s eyes quiver nearly psychotically. “What did I do wrong?”


    Beetle sighs. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You just got with her at the wrong period of your life. As did all of us. Is she a good Aurora?”


    “I don’t wanna know.”


    “Good. Not wanting to know is what we all think first. That’s good.”


    “Is it… supposed to be instinctual?”


    Beatle facepalms. “Does she happen to be an Aswang?”


    “Maybe…”


    “Pantheon Hybrid?”


    “Yes.”


    “Holy shit…” said Beatle.


    “That’s a first, isn’t it?”


    “Mhm. You’re done fucked. That’s gonna be a lotta babies.”

    “Only Anna can have my babies.”


    “Sure, kid. Sure. I mean, Arachne being a single egg is a miracle within itself. Sheesh, kid.”


    “Ugh…” Miguel facepalms. “I want Anna.”


    “Yeah? Well, now, to keep a public image, just like Prometheus, you’re gonna be in a polygamy.”


    “Even if she’s estranged!?”


    “She’s First Lady. She’s legally bound to you.”


    “But not… emotionally… or anything else.”


    “Yes.”


    “That sucks.”


    “Why do you think Pro had two wives. And a hubby.”


    “Ugh…”  Miguel facepalmed. “I can’t believe I have a concubine…”


    “Yeah? Well, Black is in that room right now to fix things up with Anna. Make sure she stays around to keep this family together. She’s the glue of this team. She gets worn out, this team breaks any second.”


    “Ugh…”


    Anna is seen walking out with Black, giving Miguel a horrible death stare, before scoffing and walking away.


    “I don’t want to be with Lovely.”


    “Well, the media loves your story…” Beatle shows that they somehow took pics of the affair.


    “We ARE NOT in an affair,” said Miguel.


    “You’re gonna pretend you love her. Even if it hurts her.”


    “Why?”


    “Because if she’s the glue of this team, your relationship with Lovely and her will be the glue to this Multivrse.”


    In the interview…


    “Yes! We have decided to enjoy the classic polygamous life, as allowed by Prometheus!” smiled Miguel, as Lovely sultrily kisses Miguel.


    Anna just smiles at the camera with her eye twitching subtly.


    “And how do you feel, First Lady?” smiled the interviewer/


    Anna smiles through. “I’ve… never been happier!”


    The people cheer for the new throuple.


    Miguel then sits next to Lovely.


    Lovely kisses his neck. “I’m sorry things ended with Anna like that… And the world will never know your pain…”


    “Lovely… I don’t wanna sleep with you.”


    “Miguel… We’re married now… Of course, we do! Plus… she hurt you… Isn’t it best to hurt her back?”


    “No.”


    “Well… You wanna do this alone, then?”


    This strikes Miguel in a weird way. Miguel sighs. “Do it.”


    Lovely kisses him, hard, and Miguel kisses her back, wrapping his arms and legs around her as they both fall into the bed.


    Meanwhile, Anna just sleeps in the next room, with ear muffs on her head while she cried softly.
