Whoa-- okay, wait... wait... I think I got it-- here! Hello? Testingtestingtesting~ one, two, three? Test-test!

Alrighty, I think it works. Ha! Awesome. [Throat clearing]
Hello, everyone! This is Gino Weinberg speaking! I guess I'm here to help you all with your troubles now, so let's be friends, okay? Ah-- hold on--

....Lelouch-senpai?

Why in the world would the Knight of Three be referring to me in such a way?

[hugtiems]

...Senpai!! You're here! That's great! I'm so glad to see you!

Silly, I call you senpai since you're a grade higher than me at the commoner school. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

[0catstolemyhat0]

I don't...

I have no affiliation with you. I've never met you in person before in my life.

...perhaps it is the other Lelouch you seek.

[hugtiems]

...Okay, what? First Kallen doesn't know me and says I'm from some other world, and now you don't know me? That's... that's not fair! Senpaiiii...

[0catstolemyhat0]

....I'm not sure how to console you, Lord Weinberg. I am just as confused as you.

From what I understand, the technology they use to teleport those they wish to draft to this world sometimes malfunctions and conjures replicas of certain people. Though these replicas are somehow not the same.

Since I don't appear to be the Lelouch that you remember, as I certainly don't recall ever earning such a title from you, maybe the other will be able to better assist you.

[hugtiems]

So there's... there's two Lelouch-senpai? And you're the one from a different world, like Kallen? And your recollection of how things happened are all weird and--

...Does that mean Suzaku is dead in your world, too?!

[0catstolemyhat0]

....What?

No... The last I'd heard of Suzaku, he'd been promoted to Knight of Seven. I haven't spoken to him in a long time but... I think I would have heard something if he'd been killed.

[hugtiems]

[A long sigh of relief. Then some shuffling and muffled clicking.]

Gonna put this on voice now-- Anyways, that's great! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

I was just asking because I'd been told he was shot and killed during that attack on Ashford awhile back. Sounded fishy to me...

Re: [Voice reply]

[0catstolemyhat0]

...Fishy indeed.

Though I wonder... if you don't recognize this Kallen either and she comes from a world that I couldn't have possibly come from if Suzaku is dead... what world did you come from?

[Voice reply]

[hugtiems]

Well, I know for sure that it's not Kallen's, because she keeps saying things happened differently than they did. And in my world Suzaku was not dead.

[Might have been a little aggressive-sounding during that last sentence.]

...And since you can't seem to recall that we were best friends... ah, but at least you remembered which Knight I am! Better luck than some others have had.

[Voice reply]

[0catstolemyhat0]

...to be honest, there was someone else here that claimed to have known me at Ashford, but I don't recall meeting them either. This almost seems too odd to be coincidental.

I don't suppose you know another student by the name of Mao, do you?

[Voice reply]

[hugtiems]

Mao, at Ashford, huh? Hmm.

...N...o, I don't think I've ever heard that name before. But maybe I saw them around! Can you tell me anything else about them?

Re: [Voice reply]

[0catstolemyhat0]

...not particularly. I was only able to hear his voice. Apparently he's been stuck in this place far longer than you or me. But if you claim to go to the same school, perhaps you heard something about his disappearance I didn't.

[Voice reply]

[hugtiems]

No, not a thing! Normally I can keep up pretty well with what's going on... Anya might have known something, but I haven't heard from her, either.

Haaah... sorry, Lelouch-senpai.

Re: [Voice reply]

[0catstolemyhat0]

A-ah. ...thank you for your assistance anyway, Lord Weinberg.

[Voice reply]

[hugtiems]

Hahaha, you can just call me Gino, you know. No need for formalities. And you're welcome!
