Instead, she leaned back slightly, casually brushing the dirt and dried crimson from her skirts. Her expression remained as indifferent as a frozen wasteland. "Regardless," she replied, her voice hauntingly steady. "What would it change? Whether I am her or not... does it truly matter anymore?"

Rhea is young and has finally come of age; it is her turn to go out into the world to find herself a man to produce a child with.
