[YOU NEVER KNOW. Though it might end up with him on his back.]
[/hilarious]

You do this a lot?

[That can be a problem he handles on his own.]

I wouldn't say I do this a lot, but it has happened. It's never happened like this before though.

[yes, I'm not sure I'd be ready to see that]

...wow. It's never happened to me! Maybe we really are two different people and we just look alike?

We can check! What's happened to you recently? Do you have Ankh? What's his status of existence?

[ah, yes, good idea, now I'm eager]

I do! We fought Maki, and won. He's human.

[slow grin]

I... [staring at you blankly] I was with you until that last part.

I fought Maki and Ankh died, but I ended up kidnapped and put in a strange, magical place. Ankh can exist there separately from Shingo, still as a Greeed though, as long as he doesn't ever leave.

[Welp, smiling again] That was fast. We've already found at what point we became different.

[I'll huff out a big puff of air here, taking that in]

Yes, that's something. But -- but are you all right in there? Is Ankh?

Well, we're all fine now. Ankh's doing fine now to-- well, Ankh have face envy, but we're all pretty much trying to ignore him and his strange jealousy.

[Thinking about it and then looking at you]

Oh. Uh. I guess I could put this like... Before, I was in a relationship with Ankh, and then someone who looks like him, his name is Kane, showed up in the space. But then I broke up with him be extenuating circumstances. Ankh doesn't like Kane because they share a face, and I'm currently rooming with Kane while Ankh is rooming with Shingo-san, but he's still being selfish and immature.

Face envy? The detective's there too?

...Kane-san. Oh.

[blink blink]

That sounds really confusing!

It is! Confusing and terrible. I can't do anything right between them.

Between us, you're significantly luckier.

[impulsively grabs your arm]

Stay.

If they're all okay... stay.

[Looking down at your hand and then to you. Not what I expected, but..]

... Okay. I'll stay.

[I know they'll be okay. That place isn't going to do anything too terrible, and Ankh and Kane can protect them better than he can right now anyway.]

[inhales sharply, delightedly overwhelmed]

[have an armful of me]

[holding you because, well your there and you look like you needed]

Is everything okay?

Yes! Yes -- I'm just pleased.

[I like helping people, though I have issues with accepting it, so I don't know what the hell just happened, but I'm very happy to help you get out of that place.]

[I'm sure we both have no idea what just happened, but I am moving past it to focus on the future]

I don't really have control on when it wants me to be there and when it doesn't, so if it randomly takes me back I'm sorry. I don't really think that it will happen though.

Will it be weird for me to be here though?

Okay, I won't take it personally!

[laughing]

I'm sure it will be! But everyone will be happy, too. Ankh will have two of us to glare at.

That's true I guess.

[Ankh will always be Ankh, I guess.]

Is it different for you now? You know, now that he's a human?

Ah, some things. Many things are the same.

[unhappy little sigh]

We're dating, and it's good. But I worry about him.

Why are you worried? Did something happen?

[I'll be sitting back in the bed comfortably now. Since I'm not going anywhere for now, might as well be comfortable while I listen]

[swallowing, but if I can't talk to you, who can I talk to]

I think things are easier for him now, but harder, too. He's not driven by needing Medals. But he doesn't know how to be human, and it's... it's eating him up.

He wanted this. He wanted life, so he should deal with everything that comes with it. You're the only person who can help him figure everything out, I bet.

[Reaching a hand to rub at your back gently.]

[relaxing against you a little]

That's very kind of you.

Thing is, I'm not entirely sure he does want life, any more.

[I'm not explaining this well, but it's distressing me, and how does words]

[That hurts to hear and it's not even my situation.]

He doesn't want it? Is it about being a Greeed again? Is that it?

[Looking at you, concerned.]

[and I don't like upsetting you, but it's not like talking to a completely different person, I don't feel bad in quite the same way]

Maybe. He'd probably find it simpler. He keeps saying things about how he... ended.

How it was perfect.
