"Roy. Batty. And I didn't choose it either. Obviously." He eyed his look-alike up and down, taking cautious step closer. He knew that duplicates existed, but he'd rarely come into direct contact with any. His was a new and rather experimental type, it seemed, and thus quite rare.

"You should know my name. It should have been yours too, at least to begin with."

Roy cocked his head to the side. There was something different about Wednesday. Did the difference of their experience count for that much? Or was it something else? Roy couldn't put his finger on what was so unfamiliar about the other man. His eyes were two different hues, he noticed, although the difference was subtle -- but that wasn't it. It was something in his stance, maybe ( ... )
