[regretnooothing]

[Well then that makes one of us!]

[Pulling closer to you because there's really no reason to wake up. Yet.]

[hinooo]

[I am trusting, though really the person I shouldn't trust is myself]

[yourself]

[me]

[...never mind, I'll just yawn and nestle back against you]

[regretnooothing]

[You should always trust yourself! I'm completely trust-able too. Or something]

[Pressing my face to your shoulder]

[hinooo]

[but deep in your soul -- my soul -- oh never mind]

[contented sigh, that feels nice]

[regretnooothing]

[Wait no what's deep inside our, your-- one of our souls?]

[Groggily opening my eyes, not for any express reason, probably to move into cuddling you more. That part doesn't actually happen, however, due to realizing the thing I'm sleeping with has my face now and not one closer to Ankh's]

[hinooo]

[issues with being a dinosaur and going RAWR a lot?!]

[...warm person next to me has gone tense]

[why is warm person tense]

[sleepy rumbly murmur]

Everything okay?

[regretnooothing]

[Well that is true...]

[How do you even answer that question? IS there a way to answer that?]

That depends, I think [Answering low. Not really pulling away or anything, just mostly staring at you in wonder.]

[hinooo]

[I don't know but it worries me]

...

[okay maybe I'll open my eyes now]

[that didn't help me get less confused]

[regretnooothing]

[That makes two of us, confused wise, I mean. There was already two of is. Ha]

... Eiji? [Going to take a random stab in the dark here.

I've seen facetwin's happen. This is not that.]

[hinooo]

[...yup, two of us, and you're not a mirror]

[I think you're not a mirror but I'll just put out a hand and poke you gently in the forehead]

[okay, you're not a mirror]

Eiji.

[regretnooothing]

[Blinking a little and staring at the finger curiously. That at least proves we're both real.]

You aren't who I fell asleep with. [I'm not complaining in the least, but you still aren't him. looking around a little]

Where are we?

[hinooo]

[wondering now if Chiyoko-san bought a me-shaped sex doll to pacify Ankh]

[.......no, she wouldn't do that]

[Cous Coussier doesn't pull in enough money for extravagances like that]

[blinking rapidly at you]

This- this is out the back of Cous Coussier? Where I live with Ankh?

[regretnooothing]

[THAT'S-- actually I wonder if that would work to get my Ankh off my back.]

...

[Sitting up in wonder and looking around]

Really? I'm back here? My bed-swapping luck is amazing.

"my bed-swapping luck is amazing" <--- *dies*

[hinooo]

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

You do this a lot?

[regretnooothing]

[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.

[hinooo]

[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?

[regretnooothing]

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

[hinooo]

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

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

[slow grin]

[regretnooothing]

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.

[hinooo]

[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?

[regretnooothing]

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.

[hinooo]

Face envy? The detective's there too?

...Kane-san. Oh.

[blink blink]

That sounds really confusing!

[regretnooothing]

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

Between us, you're significantly luckier.

[hinooo]

[impulsively grabs your arm]

Stay.

If they're all okay... stay.

[regretnooothing]

[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.]
