While the Custodes known as "Kitten" does something else, Magnus has teleported back to the Imperial Palace wearing the hoodie his new friend gave him.
Magnus: "Father! What is it you want?"
Emperor: "MAGNUS. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING?"
Magnus: "Ugh, does it displease you again, father? Will you berate me on having the sense of fashion of an Ork?"
Emperor: "NO. IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY NEAT. FOR ONCE, YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE SOMETHING EDGY AND YOU NO LONGER HAVE HORNS FOR TITS. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT, ANYWAY?"
Magnus: "Was that... a compliment from you, father?"
Magnus was internally in disbelief.
Emperor: "YES IT WAS, NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE IN THE WARP DID YOU GET THAT?"
Magnus: "Hmph! >:) If you hadn't known already, I have friends. I got it from one of them."
Emperor: "YOU? FRIENDS? ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"
Rogal Dorn: "It is hard to believe you have friends, Magnus. Thus, it is funny to father."
Magnus: "*Groan* That's obvious enough, Dorn."
Emperor: "-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAH. MAGNUS, WE BOTH KNOW YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS."
Magnus: "I do have friends, DAD! In fact, I'm so good at making friends, I recently made a new one whilst I was studying in the Black Library."
Emperor: "A NEW FRIEND?"
Magnus: "A new friend, father."
Emperor: "..."
Magnus: "..."
Rogal Dorn: "... We are in silence for dramatic effect. ..."
Emperor:
Magnus: "Stop it. Stop laughing, father!"
Magnus was irritated.
Magnus groans as he takes Diet Pepsi can, which is the equivalent size for a Primarch, opens the can, and then takes a drink out of it.
This causes the Emperor to stop laughing.
Emperor: "MAGNUS. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DRINK?"
Magnus: "Why? Are you gonna laugh at me again for my choice of drinks?"
He asks with a low-energy tone.
Emperor: "NO. ACTUALLY, I THINK THAT HELPS US A BIT. NOW, FOR THE REASON WHY I CALLED YOU HERE. MAGNUS, I HAVE FELT A MAJOR FRAGMENT OF MY SOUL VANISH."
Magnus: "hhhWHAT?!"
Emperor: "AT THE SAME TIME, I FELT THE PRESENCE OF A BEING THAT ONLY RECENTLY HAD A CONNECTION WITH THE WARP, AND THEN SOON DISAPPEARED."
Rogal Dorn: "Are you implying that your soul has been reborn?"
Emperor: "WOW. I'M SURPRISED YOU MADE A SIMPLE HYPOTHESIS, BUT NO."
Magnus: "How could this BE, father? Without your soul, you will not be able to be resurrected eventually!"
Emperor: "I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT HAPPENED. MAYBE SHE GOT MANIFESTED FROM ALL THAT PSYCHIC STRAIN ON THE PSYKERS IN THE WARP."
Magnus: "What?"
Emperor: "LATER. BUT ANYWAY, FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THROUGH THAT PART OF MY SOUL, I WAS ABLE TO LEARN A FEW THINGS ABOUT HER."
Rogal Dorn: "Who, father?"
Magnus: ""Her"?"
Emperor: "MAGNUS, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT FRIEND THAT GAVE YOU THAT HOODIE AND PEPSI 6-PACK?"
Magnus: "You know this is a hoodie? And, for your information, father, this is a Diet Pepsi. *Muttering* Which implies there's a non-diet variant."
Emperor: "STOP STALLING AND FUCKING SPEAK ALREADY, YOU TOMATO HEAD SOY WOJAK."
Magnus: "Alright, alright! Her name is Kyrie and I sensed she is a powerful psyker."
Emperor: "JUST AS I SUSPECTED."
Rogal Dorn: "What did you suspect, father?"
Emperor: "KYRIE KOTOMINE. SHE IS A HUMAN FEMALE WHO SOMEHOW SURVIVED IN THE WARP. SHE WAS 5'5" PRIOR TO SURVIVING IN THE WARP FOR A SHORT WHILE BEFORE I FELT THE LOSS OF A PIECE OF MY SOUL."
Magnus: "Father, wait.... Are you implying that Kyrie, my new friend, stole a part of your soul to become a powerful psyker?"
Emperor: "PROBABLY."
Magnus: "So that's why she was afraid of me."
Emperor: "BUT PROBABLY NOT."
Magnus: "What?"
Emperor: "DURING THAT SMALL TIME I SENSE MY SOUL PIECE MERGE WITH HER, I KNEW SHE WAS PANICKED LIKE SHE DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE THERE."
Magnus: "So you're saying she came there by accident somehow..."
Emperor: "YEP."
Magnus: "And what do you plan to do?"
Emperor: "..."
Rogal Dorn: "Father is pausing for dramatic effect agai-"
Emperor: "SHUT UP, ROGAL. MAGNUS."
Magnus: "Yes?"
Emperor: "NEXT TIME YOU MEET HER, COME INTRODUCE YOUR NERDY GIRLFRIEND TO US."
Magnus: "GIRLFRIEND?! "
Magnus becomes enraged.
