Riley being Darkday.

But Riley's female clone actually giving birth?
off/on in Settings.
GOT IT
"How... is that even possible?" Hannah clasped her head as she looked back and forth between Riley and Aerith' Ross, before settling on Riley, "Aren't your clones just made of whatever? They don't actually have physical, biological bodies. They are just made of... matter."
"Everything is made of matter, Sister."
"Haha, very fucking funny," Hannah rolled her eyes, "You know what I mean, dude."
"Well... she did say she's from the future," Nannah, who was still listening on in the conversation despite following Miss Pepondosovich everywhere in the library, commented on the side, "Perhaps they found a way to make her like... a real woman? It's not that far-fetched, before all this shit happened, some people have been wanting to be called different pronouns."
"Ideology and biology are completely different things!" Hannah wanted to strangle someone, "I mean, good for them and their freedom of expression - but Riley's clone isn't even a real person to begin with. We're not talking about a sex change here, we're talking about turning... turning a fucking table into a real live person."
"That is very rude, Sister," Riley could not help but let out a sigh of disappointment as he looked at Hannah - and it wasn't only him, Aerith' Ross and Nannah were also looking at her while shaking their heads.
"What the—Am I the only one that's fucking making sense here!?"
"When you are in a room filled with the weirdest people and you are the only normal one, Sister then you are the weird one."
"Fuck you."
"Hannah, your mom literally created another planet from scratch," Nannah sighed, "And you have Paige who could just create whatever she wants and this is what makes you shocked?" "Fuck... you're right. It's just that whenever Riley's around, it's all just a fucking mess."
"I would argue the world was more of a mess when I was not here, Sister," Riley shrugged before looking at Miss Pepondosovich, who was still busy searching for anything that would give them clues about anything, "If I was here when the gods escaped from the Domain of the Gods, then I would have killed all of them and 99% of the population of the entire multiverse would still be alive."
"Ack, it doesn't matter," Hannah could really only let out a sigh as she finally collected herself again and stood up, "We don't even know if Aerith here is really even from the future - if turning your clone into something actually alive is possible...
...there might also be a chance that Aerith' Ross was just created by someone and instilled with all sorts of memories that made her believe she's from the future."
"Hm, you make a fine point, Sister... surprisingly," Riley squinted his eyes, "But I suppose you are right— it does not matter. We are here to search for Rennalyn, and since she is not here, then we no longer have any business being here...
... It was nice meeting you again, Aerith' Ross. And I am glad that Olseyir managed to live a full life."
"Are you not curious as to why I resemble Aerith?" Aerith'Ross's eyebrows started to lower as she finally looked Riley in the eyes.
"No," Riley shook his head and just refused to elaborate further as he started walking away, "Sister, we should go."
"That-"
"Are you truly just going to leave?" And before Hannah could say anything, Aerith' Ross raised her voice; her tone, slightly agitated as she stared at Riley's back.
"Yes," Riley nodded without even looking at Aerith'Ross, "Throughout our interactions with each other, you have either completely avoided me, not looked at me, and held a cold demeanor - I would assume that means you do not like me, Aerith'Ross."
"I don't just don't like you, Riley Ross," Aerith' Ross's lips started to twitch as her breaths became heavy, "I loathe and detest you with all of my being."
"Hm."
"Do you not care about that...?" Aerith' Ross's calm demeanor completely disappeared as this time, it seemed to be her turn to be perplexed.
"You are not my daughter, Aerith' Ross," Riley shook his head, "I do not care for you at all."
"Mother and I have lived in hell because of you," Aerith'Ross gritted her teeth, "The decisions that you've made made made it impossible for us to live a normal life."
"Hm?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he finally turned around to return Aerith'Ross's gaze, "I thought I only lived as a concept during your time, Aerith'Ross? I assume that means that I no longer truly physically exist. How could the decisions I have made affect you?" "...Because the decisions you made, it made sure the no one else like you would be born again," Aerith'Ross continued to glare Riley in the eyes, "And your... your shadows haunt and hunt me down again, and again, and again, and again, and again until there is nothing left of me!"
"Woah, woah..." Hannah quickly moved between the two while stretching her palms toward Aerith'Ross to try and calm her down, "...What's up with you!?"
"Why would you do something like that, Riley Ross - when I am the one who carries your legacy with you!?" Aerith' Ross started to scream, causing the books in the library to tremble -no. The entire library began to tremble with each of the breath escaping her mad lips,'
"Great... all of your offspring just have to have a few loose screws in their head," Hannah could really only grit her teeth and wince at Aerith'Ross-she had not seen her many times, but each time, she carried with her a mature demeanor that was completely absent to anyone that's remotely related to Riley - but of course, that was too good to be true,
"Why don't we all just calm down and-"
"I found something!"
And before the situation could get any worse, Miss Pepondosovich finally raised her hand and
her voice,
"Riri, look! Look!"
Miss Pepondosovich then leaped toward Riley and handed him something.
"This is Rennalyn's foot bracelet," Riley tilted his head to the side as he looked at the jewelry
in his hand, "Did she leave this here?"
"Leave it...?" Miss Pepondosovich almost scoffed as she looked at Riley, "That's the first gift
you gave her she even bathes with that thing on her."
"...Your first gift to your daughter is a foot bracelet?" Hannah raised an eyebrow.
"I recall you wearing one, Sister."
"Wh-"
"That's not important!" Miss Pepondosovich formed her arms into an 'X' as she raised her
voice, "The point is that even with her going into depression or mental collapse, I don't think Renna would ever take this off... much less forget about it so...
...What the fuck did you do with little Renna?"
Miss Pepondosovich very slowly turned her head toward Aerith'Ross; showing her fangs at
her while the muscles on her legs started to contract.
"I told you, Riley Ross," And also very slowly, a very wide smile started to crawl on Aerith'Ross's face as she looked Riley in the eyes, "Your shadows hunt me in the future...
...so I decided to hunt them down first."
"By shadows, you mean- "
"Riley's children, of course..." A small giggle started to escape out of Aerith'Ross's lips,
"...And although poor little Renna hasn't really hunted me down nor have I seen her with her
other siblings...
...I might as well start with her, no?"
"You..." Miss Pepondosovich's voice started to tremble with rage,
"...What did you do to her?"
