"Duke..." "..." "Duke." "..." "Duke, if you're not happy with your life, you can-" "I *HAVE* to, Millie! Okay!?" he yelled, startling Millie. "It doesn't matter if I want to or not, if I let that fucker take full control, EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE SCREWED!!!" Millie was taken aback by Duke's comment... "And you want the boys with you again?" "YES! THEY'RE MY SONS!! I'M THEIR FATHER!!! I don't know what it was like where you're from, but fathers tend to be better parents when fathers truly care about the kids! Besides, you said so yourself. You're not their mother; they never HAD a motherly figure before..." Millie sighed. "Fine. You can take the Reds home with you. I won't stop you," she muttered. Duke looked surprised. "From this day on, I won't try to reach out to you or the Reds anymore. You can live your life without me in it." "Wait, that's it?" "Yeah. What? You thought I'd fight you on this?" "Yeah... or at least say something witty about it like... I don't know... like, 'if you want the reds, you'll have to turn me red first!' or something like that." "What's the point? I'm a flesh and I didn't create them. That's on you and your father. I'm just the gal who accidentally wiped their memories clean... I expect you and the Reds out by the end of the month."
