"But… you've only been gone for 2 hours."
"...And he arrived an hour ago."

The almost casual and festive mood that was injected into the council by Hannah and the others completely dissipated, replaced by confused breaths and querying eyes as all of them gathered around Barney.
"King…" Chihiro was the first to react; her eyes, not knowing where to look as she took a step back, "...He's starting to move across the universes."
"That's… the variant that Riley and I met," Aerith quickly glanced at Bard as she remembered his warning.
"The variant we met after you kissed me, Aerith."
"T…that's a detail no one else needs to know!"
All the Hannah variants momentarily glared at Aerith, but they did not really say anything as they focused back on Barney.
"If he arrived an hour ago, are you telling me an hour was all it took to conquer Earth?"
