This was going to be a long day.
Pride hadn't intended to be discovered - he hadn't even known other people were present in this strange structure. He had been searching for Lust and Gluttony; if he had ended up here thanks to some higher power, he expected that the two siblings he was traveling with would have, too. But the place was filled with people, and he hadn't even had a chance to check all of it: just the things in the near vicinity. Lust and Gluttony could be out there, somewhere, and he was stuck here trying to explain to a chimera the idea of alternate realities.
He let out a mix between a groan and a sigh.
"There's something called the butterfly effect," Pride said. It was Lust's idea, but he didn't have her here right now to explain her theory in depth. "According to the idea, choices as minor as picking a different thing to wear can trigger an entirely new sequence of events. It's thought that this creates alternate realities. Some likely don't have major differences. Others involve people who are good in one becoming evil in another. We don't know what the trigger was for the difference, but we do know that our stories began the change the most when we left our Father."
He raised a finger and pointed it at Kaito and Apophis. "In their reality, they've heard about my counterpart in a story. They don't think I'm him because I don't act or look right. I might have the same name, and the same basic appearance, but I'm not treating them - or anyone here - with the same disrespect that he would."
