Wilbur could sense the murderous intent coming off the liquid woman and stared at her coldly. "He wanted to kill me. I had to kill him first."
"Are you saying that you have to kill both my son and me, then?"
Wilbur knew then that the liquid woman was in far too deep to be saved. She had lost all sense of logic, and there was no point in trying to reason with her.
"There was only life on Earth because of me, as well as birth and reproduction. But what do I get in return, huh? What have you given me? I gave birth to Adam because I wanted to have children of my own, why did you have to do this to me? Why! Arghhhh!"
The liquid woman threw her head back, letting out a howl of fury. Wilbur watched her silently, his heart softening as he could see his past self in her. "Ma'am, I know it's all thanks to you that there is life on Earth. I'd like to ask you a question now, though."
"What question? If you can't soothe the pain in my chest, I'll have to kill you. I can lose Earth if it comes down to it, I don't care if it gets consumed by the darkness and becomes part of the evil gods. At least that's more meaningful than being taken advantage of by the likes of you."
Wilbur knew then that the pain in the liquid woman's heart had reached its very limit. He wanted to reply but found that he had nothing to say and could only nod. "Do you know what karma is?"
"Karma?"
"That's right. Karma."
