"You can't replace us," baby Truth said to the bigger children. "We're the original timeline."
"Are you?" one of the bigger children asked. "Or are you just copies who think you're real?" "We're real," baby Love said strongly.
"We can feel. We can think. We can choose." "So can we," another older kid said. "But we've been living longer. That makes us more real."
"That's not how reality works," baby Wisdom argued.
"Isn't it?" the oldest kid asked. "In every story, the original is more valuable than the copy."
"But which one is the original?" Elara asked softly. "The one that survives," the oldest child said coldly. "This is insane," Kael said.
"You're all her children. You shouldn't be fighting each other." "We're not fighting," the older child said. "We're fighting. Only one reality can remain when the Convergence ends."
