Anyways, Stan was already preparing to continue. Somewhere between the taxi ride and their arrival at the apartment, he had decided that the time had come to stop keeping the women connected to him ignorant of the changing world. Now that he had begun, he saw little reason to reveal the truth to one person while leaving the others to discover it through experience.
Keeping Sarah's hand in his, Stan closed his eyes again and reached outward through the Harem bond. Instead of focusing on a single recipient, he extended his awareness along all nine remaining connections, locating Sophie in Crown Jewel Tower, Maya in her editing suite, Amelia in her Inksea hotel suite, Mia at Velaris Crown University, Xenia at Star Entertainment, Vivian in her Velaris branch office, and the four TikTuk streamers wherever they happened to be at that moment. Each bond provided a distinct connection, allowing him to reach them without needing to know their exact circumstances.
