[speakssoftly]

Normally I'd be stuck on... I don't know, killing those people or something. But I can't even care about that.

[awakenerd]

Yeah. That's... Yeah.

[speakssoftly]

Especially... since they definitely deserved it. Deserved worse, probably.

[awakenerd]

[Look this guy is decidedly against murder and even he's not going to argue.]

...Yeah. Whatever your reasons for being there, I'm glad you were.

[speakssoftly]

[nods quietly]

I can be glad of that much, at least.

[awakenerd]

Maybe you'll remember her, later on, how she's doing.

[speakssoftly]

...I hope so.

[awakenerd]

Yeah. Hopefully the rest of your memories are less...

[Horrifying.]

[speakssoftly]

...In that memory, we were horrified too. So... even if the rest of my memories are also bad, I can't imagine they'd measure up to that.

[awakenerd]

Yeah. I really really hope so.

[Like, man, that was so bad I can't even be concerned about the huge amounts of murder you obviously were doing.]

[speakssoftly]

[SO MUCH MURDER

goes quiet, though, not really sure where to... go from that.]

[awakenerd]

[Hm.]

Any other thoughts on it?

[speakssoftly]

[ugh it hurts to mull it over more, but....]

...That guy looked a lot like Crow, didn't he? He... clearly wasn't Crow, but.

[awakenerd]

He did look a lot like Crow, I noticed that. The same way you look a lot like me.

[speakssoftly]

...Yeah. Not quite identical.

[awakenerd]

But close enough to be almost twins.

So that's more mystery.

[speakssoftly]

Nemesis's clone theory is looking more viable.

[awakenerd]

Clones huh?

[Absently puts a hand over his heart but...]

Hm. That'd be pretty funny, but sounds a little far fetched.

[speakssoftly]

[well that's a weird gesture to make there.]

Well, I'm not a fan of the conclusion that we'd then have to fight to prove who's superior.

[even though it's just been proven that he's like, extremely good at murder.]

Are your ribs okay?

[awakenerd]

Hm? Oh yeah. Just a bit bruised.

Who said we'd have to fight?

[speakssoftly]

It was kind of an odd bit of body language in this context, is all.

Oh, Nemesis joked about it. Of course that wouldn't actually happen.

[awakenerd]

[What did he do....??? The heart touches are kind of automatic it takes him a few seconds to figure out.]

Of course she would...

You mean this, though?

[Touching his heart??]

[speakssoftly]

[nods.]

[awakenerd]

....Kind of habit I guess. But I arrived with a scar here. Sometimes when I'm upset my chest aches.

It'd be funny if it were something like I'm a clone with your heart but that doesn't seem likely.

[speakssoftly]

I also wouldn't think of it as funny, but it's that intense of a scar?
