[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?

[awakenerd]

Okay maybe not "funny" ha ha but...

[He shrugs off his coat and tugs his shirt up. Not really fussed about showing skin or the massive chest scar.]

It's so old it has to be from years ago.

[speakssoftly]

[oh, goddess]

...Yeah, it must be. I'm surprised you could've survived something like that, but it looks like you fully recovered well enough.

[awakenerd]

[He lets his shirt drop over his nice abs again.]

Yeah. It's not something I've remembered yet but I do remember a family so it'd be strange to actually be clones, at least.

[speakssoftly]

Unless I was your clone. Though I figure clones are strange enough by themselves.

[awakenerd]

Probably not clones. We might be cousins though, but I think brothers is unlikely. Considering the things I remember.

Unless one of us was kidnapped at birth or adopted or something.

[speakssoftly]

It's pretty hard to judge the likelihood of that with how little we remember, but...

[shrugs]

[awakenerd]

Yeah, fair enough.

[speakssoftly]

Can I ask what sorts of things you remember, though?

[awakenerd]

I remember a school festival I think, a concert I did for it. Crow was there. I remember my sister and the princess getting kidnapped and dad getting shot. I remember fighting Crow inside some kind of... Mecha people called it? A large armored knight, but sentient.

Crow remembers playing blade and fighting monsters and puzzles in a dungeon labyrinth alongside a woman we both recall, and assassinating an important official.

[speakssoftly]

...We were all leading pretty wild lives before this, hm.

[awakenerd]

Maybe a little.

[speakssoftly]

Just slightly.
