...People go missing here a lot, right? And people seem to think that they're either kidnapped, or they go home, right?

But here she could--

Hm.

An... you come stay with us until L-... Mariko comes back.

You shouldn't.. you shouldn't have to be alone again, okay?

[fate_bent]

Until what, Haseo? And ... how would you know that?

[reversedarkness]

I almost called her Lady Subaru...

W.. I just do, okay?

Haseo... You need to explain to me who you are. You're clearly uncomfortable around me all the time.

[reversedarkness]

... Only if you promise not to stop talking to me or anything.

[fate_bent]

You make it difficult what with being evasive.

[reversedarkness]

... Just.. listen. It was only because of this.. place that I remember you or Lady Subaru or that dick Crim or Morganna or anyone. It made me remember.. seven years ago, I was in R1.. and I was the player Sora... I went into a coma and when I came out of it, I forgot.. everything, I guess. I didn't know that happened, I know I was told that I.. hit my head or something, it was too long ago. I never thought of what the reason could be, I still don't know what happened to me but I know who I was.

[fate_bent]

B-but then, Haseo, how old are you?

[fate_bent]

[An... is thinking back. She thinks she might know why but-- Is that even possible? She won't confirm he suspicions until the age thing is clarified though.]

[reversedarkness]

I'm seventeen. Means I was ten then, of course.

[fate_bent]

...So I see I wasn't the only one pretending to be someone else. [An pauses for a long while here. It makes a weird sort of sense that Sora would be a little kid -- only a little boy could be quite a mercurial as he was] You know, you said a coma... You remember that I couldn't log out? It turns out by real body was in a coma during that time.
