That is, he liked his fair share of women a lot, but he also liked ideas that made him \"too rotten to be married\".\n\nAerith added, that, basically, he was a horny pervert, in general.\n\nUnfortunately, he was also a horny pervert with a lot of clout, who had stolen some very valuable scientific theories for himself, and killed the man who had pioneered them in the first place.\n\nAnd his lab reeked. It was one part blood, one part bleach, one part animal excrement. Surely, to the right person, it was a zoological wonderland of specimens in tanks and holding cells. An opportunity for the right... or 'wrong' mind, as it were, to understand how something worked.\n\nAerith nudged me. \"He's wrong, Avery. That's all you need to focus on.\"\n\nHe had... interfered in a relationship. He had turned a mother into an experiment.

Maybe holding onto it was the one thing that allowed her to keep her sanity, or maybe she was just not of a mind curious enough to probe into ideas about organisms, with clinical detachment. She was no Moira O'Deorain--having opted for flowers, over centipedes and other creepy crawlies.\n\nThe Professor had tried to interbreed Aerith with a creature labeled \"Red XIII\".\n\nLupe gripped my other hand, firmly. \"Is this... where I get involved?\" she asked, timidly. Her eyes had already begun sweeping the place, scanning computer monitors and empty cages with bloodstains.\n\nMaybe it was just me, fearing for her. She'd faced Julian's cruelty already. She'd fought mad science, before...","series":{"name":"The God of Marriage Saga","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2174485-god-of-marriage-saga-chapter-7.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2174574-god-of-marriage-saga-chapter-9.json"}}
