"Asha!"
"..."
You might live.
That is what Riley told the dark-skinned themarian as he pierced his arm through her chest, pushing out her heart through her back and holding it tight…with all the veins and arteries still surprisingly intact.
"Same as Aerith. Your heartbeat is exponentially faster than hers, however. Throughout the time I have been with her, her heartbeat usually only beats 4 times a day."
And through all the shocked faces, Riley just pulled his arm out with Asha's heart; still intact even after her veins stretched more than a meter—probably a themarian trait. Of course, Riley wouldn't really know all of it.
"It still baffles me how similar your biology is to humans, but at the same time, so different," Riley said as his head tilted to the side while staring at Asha's still very much beating heart,
"Oh well."
