Present Day

"So," Ash said  after a long pause once Giovanni had finished speaking, "what you're saying is... I'm a clone?"

"Yes." Giovanni answered.

"Is that the reason I still look ten years old even though I should be about twenty by now?"

"That's... part of it." Giovanni said nervously.

Curious, Ash asked, "So then, what's the other part?"

"The other part of the reason you haven't aged a day past the age of ten," Giovanni said, "is because your mother injected you with a serum that would completely halt the aging process of your external appearance by the time you reached your tenth birthday."

"So you're saying I'm not even a real person?"

"Calm down, Ash."

"How could you tell me to calm down?!" Ash shouted, "My whole life is a lie!"

"Ash!" Giovanni yelled to try to regain Ash's attention, "Listen to me!"

"No!" Ash shouted, "I don't want to hear anything you have to say!"

"But...I'm your father, Ash." Giovanni said.

"No you're not!" Ash yelled, "You don't even care about me, do you?!"

Ash started walking over to the cabin's emergency exit door. Before he got to it he turned back to Giovanni with a tear-soaked face and asked, "why did you even take me from that lab in the first place? Why didn't you just kill me like you did the others?"

Giovanni looked at Ash in shock. Giovanni was so taken aback by what Ash had just asked that he struggled to even respond. "I..." was all Giovanni could only manage to say.

Unmoved, Ash closed the distance between him and the emergency exit door, threw it open, and said, "Goodbye, Giovanni," before jumping out of the plane and plummeting into the churning ocean waters many miles below.
