OK, here’s a theory on what I think could be a major plot piece somewhere in the series:
Jaiden doesn’t want teenagers. Or rather, he wants to use them in some way. That means there’ll be a massive decrease in reproduction because having kids means growing your kids up to be teens. And when they’re teens, their lives will be ruined (most likely. The parents wouldn’t wanna risk having their kid go through what the MCs went through). Also, a good chunk of already existing teens would have high chances of committing suicide due to trauma from the Fall, further decreasing the population. What if Jaiden notices this sudden population decrease and knows it’s not a good thing? The tag in this story says “genetic-cloning” so I’m thinking he could genetically clone adults (that won’t be killed or used) and then ALTER those clones to act like different people? That will, in some way, keep the population up, right?
There could be errors in the theory (probably a LOT), but I have to spill it out somewhere and I cannot keep it in my mind forever. It keeps nagging at me.
UPDATE: Ok yeah there’s definitely a lot of faults in this. But I couldn’t think of any other reason as to why “genetic cloning” would be a tag here LMAO

Idk fam
Yeah, I know, my theory doesn't really make sense.
