Hey. [And smiling out, even if N wasn't looking yet.] Your device is on.
[Unlike when he first reacted to the others with a confused expression, or a questioning one, this time...
For this boy, he reacts with an awaiting set of eyes. He doesn't remember him, that much is true, and he will make that clear soon. But for now, he wishes to give this boy-
A person who sees him as someone important, a true smile.]

Thankfully out of view, he tightly clenches his hands closed.]

... Someone here told me about the presences of "similar people."
I might be a different Red altogether. I don't expect you to treat me the same way as "the other me."
Even so, I definitely wouldn't want that. I don't deserve it... [As he lost his precious memories, other than the pain in his chest that he doesn't even understand...
It could be the strange pain is caused by the fact that he is the same Red, but still. He doesn't remember. How can he deserve anyone's respect here?]
Then, this must be...]

Red was gone. Red left. But now he's back, and what does that mean? What does that mean he thinks of him now?
He tries to say it's fine, but he finds he cannot speak, instead just staring at the screen. ]

[Red opens his mouth a tiny bit, wanting to ask if N was okay...
But, that mysterious pain on his chest is returning. It's a feeling that he doesn't understand. What is triggering it...? His old memories?]
... Are you all right?

[ No. Not really. ]
I didn't think you were coming back.

He knows it must hurt. He can't blame him at all...]
... I'm sure that "he" is thankful to have met you.
I know that I am. [Thank you... For treasuring "the other him..."]
[... Heh, what is he even saying? Though, he felt the strong responsibility to say it. And he doesn't regret it.]

...I take it people have explained Vatheon to you? And found you a place to stay?

Yes.
Mokona found me. He said that I used to stay in this particular house...
[Gently, he angles the video feed elsewhere, showing a very familiar room that he's currently in.]
