Stella. You underestimate how much I'd go through if something happened to you.

@Yatagarasu

*My gaze lingers on you in a rare moment of hesitation*
I’ll be okay, daddy. I’m your daughter, after all.

What's there to be careful of when it comes to inducing electric shock instantaneously?

@Yatagarasu

The sense of responsibility will help you find and fix things that go wrong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Absolutely not.

@Yatagarasu

You’ll be more careful about it if that’s hanging over you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That's fair.

@Yatagarasu

You turn it on, so if you kill me, you’ll regret it forever.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I'm not sure that that's a great moral decision for me either...

@Yatagarasu

It’s not the riskiest thing you’ve done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Visibly tenses*
... Well, alright then. I'd tell you to be careful, but, uh...
*Hands you the device with a shaking hand*

@Yatagarasu

*Snatches it and starts connecting everything*
If mom finds out, you grounded me for sneaking out and ‘sperimenting on my own.
*Smiles and winks*

*Sighs*
Your mother is going to kill me, and that's probably the correct response.
*Goes into another room and comes back a moment later with the same device Shion used to activate her splitting*
Before I give you this, how long did it take the Shions to split and recover?

@Yatagarasu

The best case, several hours. The worst case, several days.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don't think that would be a good moral choice for me to do that. But I suppose I can't stop you if you want to volunteer for it.

@Yatagarasu

*Responds without hesitation*
I’ll do it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

My only thought is that it's due to how cells split based on electrical fields. Maybe they're always trying to split, but they can't without a forced cell splitting. Or maybe it's just a source of energy that gets used to fuel the split. It's hard to know.

@Yatagarasu

How about we shock the rest of us and see if the same thing happens? That’s an easy text.

I'm guessing it's some form of macro-mitosis. You said that the second one's body formed from a piece of the original's, right?

@Yatagarasu

*Rolls a pen against my chin*
Mmm... What would that have to do with the electricity itself?
