OK, this is just cuz I rarely hear my name used for women (assuming gender here I guess, but it does say mother, so…) in fiction, but is Benedict a common name for women in (French) Haiti? You see, where I’m from Benedict/Benedikt is the male version of the name and Benedicte/Benedikte is the female version of the name, so I wondered if “Benedict” was an intentional choice for a female or if it was a hint of gender-nonconformity, or if it’s simply more normal other places to use Benedict as a female name, as well as or instead of as a male name? (I haven’t really heard it in other countries either as something other than the male version of the name, adding to the confusion and assumption in regard to gender hehehe. Not that gender matters, but yeah, it’s interesting to me personally because of the namesake) 😊
Seventy years ago, ordinary people underwent a grotesque spontaneous transformation, what we termed “calamities.” These poor souls lost control and wreaked havoc wherever they roamed. Aaron, the prodigy who emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the chaos of monsters, has made an alarming decision: he quits! Now, all he wants is an ordinary life. Reconnecting with his childhood friend Percy, they both wish to experience the bliss of living an everyday, uneventful existence.
